We were kindly invited by Jan Strapp, the organiser at Redbourne, to join them for an evening of music to raise funds for Folk against Fascism, a movement aimed at ensuring that British folk music is not appropriated by the far right for its own purposes.
The club was pleasingly full to overflowing with those who wanted to participate, there were lots of new faces, many from the jazz world, that had come along also, and the music was stirring throughout the evening. So great was the pressure on the programme, there was only room for us to do The Bite and Only Three Months, each in turn referring to the fight and the consequences of the fight against fascism in the Spanish Civil War.
Well done to Jan and the others (who, I apologise, I don’t know by name) who put such an important and fun evening together.
