Lizzie is making some outrageous remarks which I can't even bebothered to address. However, I do just want to add a few questions:

Bellowhead have 11 members (12 including the manager), do you honestly think they are going to have a complete and unified opinion on politics?

Why is their place to spread the word about politics and the world affairs? They are simply a band who take traditional material and whilst keeping true to the tradition, in terms of melodies, lyrics and heart, and rearrange it for a more modern more dancy crowd. They are about fun- since when was politics fun? And why does everything have to be serious? People have always been racists, facists, murderers and God knows what else- we just have more mediums in which to exude that kind of behaviour now.

I think some people need to remember that these people are simply musicians doing their job (who probably aren't as rich or up their own arse as you suspect). They have NO DUTY whatsoever to change the way the UK is won or how people view other situations. Not for you and not for anyone.

As individuals, I'm sure every member of Bellowhead does have strong political views and would happily discuss and promote those with others- but to expect them to do so at a gig is absurd- there would be no gig, just bickering amongst the stage no doubt!
