Activists destroying a section of the wall

100% Acoustic Punkk Fun at the Plough, Easton with:

~Ghost Mice

DIY duo from Gainesville USA eschew PAs, amps, and all the other buzzing machines that normally power live music to travel light and play straight up positive anarchist folk punk with guitar and violin.

~Clayton Blizzard

Ultra witty acoustic hip hop and political songs of the people; the original intentions of folk re-incarnated in a modern medium. It’s entertaining, endearing and occasionally uncomfortably on the money. (Fan Fact)

~Bones from the Bottom of the Barrel

Vagabond anthems, country punk and eerie melodramatic pop songs.

and Dr. Spin with some of Anarco Folko

It's a mere £4 and the surplus raised will be donated to Anarchists Against the Wall.

Anarchists Against the Wall (AATW) is a direct action group established in 2003 in response to the construction of the wall Israel is building on Palestinian land in the Occupied West Bank. The mere presence of Israelis at Palestinian civilian actions offers some degree of protection against army violence, and all work is essentially Palestinian led.

With the increase of legal persecution against Palestinian demonstrators, AATW are now fund-raising to expand its existing legal fund so that it also covers defence costs for Palestinians. This is in addition to covering a standing 15,000 USD debt, resulting from the legal persecution of Israeli anti-wall demonstrators.
