  • Red Wedge live Newcastle England, January 31st 1986. Recorded from analogue terrestrial broadcast onto Sony Betamax videotape, mono audio. Red Wedge was a collective of musicians formed in the UK in 1985 who attempted to educate youth with the policies of the Labour Party leading up to the 1987 general election in the hope of ousting the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher. Fronted by Billy Bragg (whose 1985 Jobs for Youth tour had been a prototype of sorts for Red Wedge), Paul Weller and the Communards' lead singer Jimmy Somerville, the Red Wedge held concert parties and appeared in the media, adding their support to the Labour Party campaign.

    It would indeed be weird if you watched this and it induced you to vote for Starmer's Pale-Blue Tories.
    Urge all British voters to vote Green if they can this election, or some other than Tory and Labour.
    Tories will be defeated in any case, don't let Starmer install a steamroller neolib state. Thank you.

      They're all the same. Controlled by the 'hidden' hand. Same face, different mask...

    Tricky to sing right, even for Jimmy Somerville, but at least Billy held back from doing the backing harmony.....

      From my rented storage unit, at Storage UK Ltd, it was resting with 2000 other tapes, waiting for me to set it free.
