What in the world does this concert have to do with Joe Hill, Cujimmy? I deleted your previous link because you gave no explanation. By rights, I should delete this one, too.

In 1995 the first "Raise Your Banners" festival of political song was held in Sheffield, inspired by the 90th anniversary of the death of Joe Hill. Sheffield Socialist choir which was formed in 1988 organised the event and performed an arrangement by Nigel Wright of the Earl Robinson song about Joe Hill. Since then the festival has been held roughly every two years, being held in Bradford in November 2007 and 2009.

Thanks, Joe. Sometimes the reasons for things get forgotten.
