Joe Solo from Scarborough is one of our finest political songwriters and raconteurs - he also puts his money where his mouth is and organised the incredible 'We Shall Overcome' festival last October which saw 250 gigs across 3 continents take place over a week raising the equivalent in cash of £125,000 worth of donation to food banks etc. He also frequently donates the proceeds of sales of his music to support homeless people 'We Shall Overcome' will be repeated this October and will hopefully be an annual event Joe Solo website Amongst others I can also highly recommmend Plumhall, Gary Kaye and Jon Palmer Acoustic Band who all feature protest and political songs in their repertoire
