can I just put up my hand and say that i am the person who was selling socialist worker before the chumbawumba concert...the band were wonderful...one of the best I have seen at Sidmouth in my 12 years of attending.
You can't keep politics out of music ...if we did there would be no songs by Ewan McColl , no early Bob Dylan ,no Pete Seeger and no Paul Robeson.Without the politics of life the guts would be torn out of our music!
I also spent a lot of time in the theatre bar where the singing and the atmosphere was fantastic....and I managed a song myself ,the first time I have ever sung at Sidmouth.
Great week!!
