Following a meeting at 7pm on “1977 when Babylon burned: punk, politics and resistance” with speakers Chris Salewicz, Drew McConnell, and Paul Sillett, there’ll be an excellent LMHR gig with the legendary Don Letts DJing, jazz-rap maestros The Tribunes, muslim hip-hop from Poetic Pilgrimage, and the rap-soul party vibes of Messengers (formerly Nu-MCs).
LMHR are pleased to be one of the main partners in this year’s Sutton In Shopland Festival, taking place near Southend-on-Sea in Essex. With the main stage named ‘the LMHR stage’ the festival has a brilliant diverse musical line-up but will also help alert and involve people in Essex to the threat of the BNP on their doorsteps.
Tags: Essex, Southend-on-Sea On Thursday 19th July, Hackney Empire, London, we’re proud to present a celebration of Rock Against Racism – the cultural movement that played an important role alongside the ANL in defeating the fascist National Front in the 1970s, and a model and yardstick for LMHR’s campaign today in helping stop the BNP. As part of the Hackney Empire’s “Spice Festival”, RAR founder Red Saunders and LMHR have put together a fantastic bill with the cream of RAR legends alongside exciting modern-day LMHR-supporting artists, including: Misty in Roots, Tom Robinson, Jerry Dammers, Drew McConnell (Babyshambles) + very special guests, Wiley and friends, Toy Guns and much more.

Otherwise discredited and irritating “investigate reporter” Roger Cook did provide a useful service back in 1997 in exposing BNP leader’s Nick Griffin’s disgusting racist bigotry and Nazi sympathies as can be seen in this video excerpt now up on youtube … apparently the “nonsense” about the gas chambers is a “total lie”. ‘Vote Nazi – bring back the gas chambers’ doesn’t have quite the same appeal does it?
