Rock, FolkOld Timer in Isan
Sad Wastelands Of The Free

Folky protest rock session led by the likes of The Oysterband, Show Of Hands, Frank Turner, Iris Dement, Steve Earle and Crass. Spotlight on US folk/punk rock artist Chuck Ragan with track from his brilliant 2007 LP Feast Or Famine.

THE TEMPTING, GLITTERING MIRAGE THAT CAPITALISTS IMPOSE ON REALITY MASKS THE UGLY FACT THAT POVERTY, INJUSTICE AND MISUSE OF POWER ARE INTEGRAL, ESSENTIAL COGS IN THE MACHINERY OF MASS EXTORTION. They are building billion £ football stadiums everywhere at a time when the need for food banks, homelessness & poverty are on the rise. They take money from the poorest to pay for their warmongering while heavily penalising/outlawing any public shows of protest and its happening the world over; ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
