Samuel Pepys

An important public official in 17th Century London, Pepys helped to organise and run the English navy. He also kept a secret diary from 1660 to 1669, where he was surprisingly honest about his personal thoughts and private life. The diary includes his first hand accounts of the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. The Fediverse account divides the diary into chunks which are posted in estimated real time.

Grimethorpe Colliery Band

Award-winning brass band based in the North of England, formed by workers at the local coal mine in 1917. As well as dozens of domestic awards, the band has represented England at the European level and took part in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics. The band’s music and story were the basis for the hit film “Brassed Off” starring Ewan McGregor and Pete Postlethwaite.
