Folk Against fascism

I am off to Shrewsbury Folk Festival later today and I hope to have something to report back of music that relates to human rights.  Two years ago I wrote on this blog about some political songs that I had heard or sung at the festival.  Music should certainly be entertaining but sometimes it is also good to have songs that have a political message. 

Folk Against Fascism was set up because of attempts by far-right political groups to hijack folk and traditional music.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
