Thread Name: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
As far as logos on CDs/Booklets are concerned, I would insist on it in the future.
Sadly any BNP muppet can go and buy my album, rip a particular track and shove it on one of their tasteless compilations (Not tasteless music, you understand!)
Which is why the work that Joan and others are doing is so important.
Dr Goebells single handedly destroyed German and Austrian Volk Music in the early 30's. Think about it. How many German Folk bands have you seen in the last 40 years? None.....The Germans that I know are ashamed of their own legacy. because it was so tainted by its Nazi connections.
Do we want this to happen here?
I don't think so.
And I must echo Anahatas point. If Steve Harris were to turn up at an English Ceilidh (Which I know he loves..Nowt wrong with that)
Only to discover that it was being funded by the BNP. Would he stay or would he go?
And Steve. Which of the three words Folk...Against...Fascism...Don't you understand? It's not rocket science is it?
And why weren't you dancing in the Anchor gardens that Friday lunchtime?
