Tags: South East Musicians representing LMHR are taking part in a unique and important show on the opening day of Budapest’s gigantic Sziget music festival – to launch a new Hungarian campaign based on similar lines to LMHR. The new organisation – Zene a Rasszizmus Ellen” (Music Against Racism) or ZARE for short – is being set up with help from the UK Embassy in Budapest with the aim of bringing together anti-racist musicians, groups and individuals in an active and united campaign to tackle racism in Hungarian society.
After an entire day’s bill featuring some of Hungary’s top bands playing to support the cause, more than a dozen acts will combine in one set to provide a spectacular multinational and multicultural finale to the day.
The day’s programme will also feature a separate “Hungarian Jazz against Racism” stage, with concerts by star performers from Hungary’s jazz scene and top international guests.
Sam Duckworth aka Get Cape Wear Cape Fly is curating the music for this special one-off set, with an eclectic group of cutting-edge artists including Drew McConnell from Babyshambles, members of The King Blues and Kid British, brilliant singer Mpho, Jimmy Pursey from Rock Against Racism heroes Sham 69, rappers Low Key and Eslam Jawaad, Britpop legend Lee Mavers from The La’s, beatboxer Shlomo and DJ The Last Skeptik. The set will also feature collaborations with leading Hungarian musicians, still to be announced, with one or two surprise guests still in the offing.
Thank you so much to all 400 of you who came to show support at such late notice to our national conference held jointly with Unite Against Fascism. The main aim of the day was to discuss how anti-racists should react to the recent electoral gains of Nazi parties such as the British National Party (BNP). Our lively session – excellently chaired by Julia Barton from Stoke Love Music Hate Racism – featured the cream of the crop of today’s anti-racist artists, namely, Sam Duckworth (Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly), LowKey, C-Mone, Kid British, Baby-J and a last minute addition of Strategy (Broken English) stepping up to fill John McClure’s shoes who was unfortunately unable to attend at the last minute.
