about

‘The Hangman’s Ballad’ is a complete rework of Ewan MacColl’s composition the ‘Ballad of Tim Evans’. A brutal song about the wrongful hanging of Tim Evans for the murder of his wife and child. A story that still to this day has contrasting views on Tim Evans's involvement in the murder, but an event that resulted in him being pardoned and wrongfully accused and a case that also contributed to the abolishment of capital punishment in the U.K. The Nottingham link to this story lies within Syd Dernley, the last living hangman, who lived in Mansfield, a man who showed no remorse for his work.
