Anti-racism benefit gig…

THE Empire Music Hall in Belfast will host an anti-racism gig this Thursday night, 5th August. The gig is being promoted under the umbrella of ‘Love Music, Hate Racism’, the organisation that grew out of Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi League of the 1970s.

The Press Release states: Also involved is the Anti-Racism Network (ARN), which co-ordinates the activities of local community and anti-racist groups.

This will be the first of a series of gigs promoting a culture of anti-racism and anti-sectarianism and will lead, hopefully, to a major outdoor event in 2005.

Music is one of the many tools that have been used in the past to raise awareness of social issues and this is one further aspect of how music and musicians can aim to bring communities together.
Details: The Empire, Belfast, Thursday 5th August.

PAY*OLA, The Debonaires, Pocket Billiards and Contraband
£5.00
