TV Smith is also at Wigan Club Nirvana on Saturday (28th June). 

David Hughes dropped us a line to let us know that his “good friend Dario Battisti from Greenock wrote, directed and produced this music video for “You can’t spell flame retardant without lame retard”“

Resistance in Oaxaca

Monday 30th June, Town Hall Tavern, Tib Lane, Manchester M2 4JA
After a number of months of apparent quiet, the mexican government and the murderous governor of Oaxaca, Ulises Ruiz, would have liked nothing better than we forgot about our comrades and their struggle. But we can not forget the political prisoners, the constant harrasment of communities and the murders that death squads have committed and even now continue to carry out. For an update on the situation come along and find out.
