Who's Gonna Win The War Now?

 

Who's Gonna Win The War Now?



A slight change of direction for this one. I've been revisiting some of the other sounds that I've taken in over the years. While reggae was my first love I've always been open to other good forms of expression, just so long as the vibes are right

Folk, folk-rock, stoner rock & psychedelic music and back again... Selections here focus largely on the theme of PERPETUAL WAR and ideals of freedom, will this pestilence that is humanity ever resolve to really pull itself together for the general good? Sadly I very much doubt it.

Summer Solstice Late 80s Free Festival Special

Summer Solstice Free Festival Special
Punky Reggae Party '89
Going back to another time and space... back to the heady days of free festivals, the convoy, 'new age' travelers an' all that... Focus is on bands who played the festival circuit in the late-80s, leading with RDF aka Radical Dance Faction aka Military Surplus.




Continuous mix 2 hours

The UK free festival scene that begun in the late 60s basically ended with Castle Morton in '92 after which our rights & freedoms were heavily curtailed. Years following Stonehenge 'Battle of the Beanfield' 1985 were marked by clashes with police & political activism in line with the Miner's Strikes and Poll Tax riots and were a last hurrah for the alternative lifestyle before pay2go culture completely took over. Hard drugs also took their toll. Bring back the old freedoms, squatters rights & some of that super hashish!

Massive respect to RDF.
