Thread Name: ADD: Anti-nuclear weapons songs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti-nuclear weapons song
During the marches we probably sang "We shall overcome" the most - we'd make up verses as we went along. "H-Bomb's Thunder" was always a good marching song though with a good chorus as was the afore-mentioned "We Dinna wan't Polaris". For a more reflective song there was always Last Night I had the Strangest Dream

There's a wonderful piece of news film footage, showing the end of one of the Easter Marches as we were all coming up Whitehall. There's a whole band of musicians at the front - just behind the big names most of whom had only joined in at Parliament Square. I'm in a group with Tony McCarthy, John Hasted, and Alex Comfort - all sadly dead now.
