Preview of the anti-G8 protests in Northern Ireland

 repost

The G8 really have made one hell of a mistake by deciding to hold the forthcoming G8 summit in Northern Ireland. Did 30 years of civil war teach them anything? It will be all out war when the G8 summit takes place there in June.

The protests will be like this only on a far bigger scale:

This Saturday Party in Trafalgar square on the day Margaret Thatcher quits this mortal coil.

Party in Trafalgar square and squares across the whole country on the day Margaret Thatcher quits this mortal coil.

A peaceful demonstration of disapproval!

We cannot let this moment pass without letting the world know that we have not forgotten.
From stealing the milk from our children, the SUS laws, the Brixton riots, through to the Miners Strike; form the sinking of the Belgrano, to the Poll Tax Riots; 4 million unemployed, The Battle of the Bean Field and later - the CJA - We Remember!
We Remember the destruction of our industries, the ruthless sell off of our services, how she filled the coffers of CEOs and the banks, unleashing a culture of greed and setting the stage for the economic strife we are experiencing now.
We will make our comment on the effect she had and the plan to spend millions of pounds on her state funeral.
Come and celebrate our liberty and freedom from tyranny! On the day that Maggie stands down, once and for all!

As soon as you hear she is dead make your way directly to Trafalgar Square... Or your local event - SEE LIST -There will only be a few hours before they begin to cordon off the square; to prevent the embarrassment of such a celebration. So it is important for us to make our way there as soon as the news is released! I would imagine trying to get there before mid-day on the day it is announced. If it is announced after dark then before mid-day the following day.
It is highly doubtful that parties planned for later dates will have escaped the police's notice and be allowed to happen without blockades and riot police in place around the square preventing access.
Though I very much hope all events are successful!

This is a Flash party so it will rely on word of mouth and you sending notice of it to as many people as you can via facebook and your email list or by text and twitter.
Please do this so that we can make a point and have a great time with a strong show of support, something that can't be ignored or go unreported...
The more the merrier!
Once you join you can forward the invite to all your friends by following the link in the corner. Or alternatively use the SHARE option and 'message friends' and the info will land in their inbox rather than just on a list of group invites... Also post to your home page regularly!

Basque/Irish Solidarity Gig in Tottenham,London Saturday 23rd Feb

a benefit gig to raise money for the dependents of Basque and irish political prisoners...and to celebrate the culture and links between the Basque and the irish peoples.

a great night in store celebrating the culture and friendship between the Irish and Basque nations.

NECK
 http://www.facebook.com/Neck.PsychoCeilidh
one of the originals and still one of the best.London Irish psycho-ceilidh...
A six-piece 'Psycho-Ceilídh' band juxtaposing perfectly the swirling, spiritual abandon of authentic Traditional Irish music with the electric energy blast of a full-on, pumped-up-to-fe*k Punk band and in the process, distilling the sound of two other mighty London rebel bands, The Clash & The Pogues, & 'carrying the torch on' with their own, unique London-Irish brew!

NO HOPE
 http://www.facebook.com/nohopepunk?fref=ts
old-school punk-rock band coming all the way from Aretxabaleta, a town in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque country for this, their only english gig celebrating their new album release!

BOTTLEJOB – streetpunk sounds
www.facebook.com/pages/BOTTLEJOB/221138091252917
london slang, sounding like a bottle in the face, it refers to a coward or what the ..Cockney Rejects.. would call a 'shitter'. Stand together and never run.
The band is an unlikely mix of Irish and Basque but based here in London.

STEVE WHITE AND THE PROTEST FAMILY
 http://www.facebook.com/protestfamily
great news...we've been trying to book this band for a gig for a couple of years now and its never happened till now!!we're totally thrilled to have them on board for the gig!
After a difficult childhood, Steve White & The Protest Family officially came of age at Tommy Flynn's in Camden on the 3rd December 2009. Led by songwriter Steve, their brash, witty, entertaining, often political brand of semi-acoustic folk/punk invokes comparisons with Billy Bragg when he used to be good. Frank Turner would hate it of course.

BRENDAN O'PREY
www.facebook.com/TheLagan
lead singer from londonirishcelticpunkers THE LAGAN roped in to do a solo set.expect a few Lagan favourites and a few choice covers as well.

latest news is that there will be a 'txalparta' as well.thats a ancient Basque instrument and 'bertsolari' which is a old way of telling stories by singing...

keep a eye on here for updates and any changes to the line-up...
