They refuse to accept that the #ToryBrexitDisaster is and will continue to damage our beautiful country for decades.
Sorry is the hardest word for politicians like Coffey.

With cold and rainy weather all around, why not look back to summer 2022 with this record of the Our Subversive Voice protest music project @LatitudeFest. There's singing, shouting - and some decent talking - plus an appearance from the inestimable Laura Bates of @EverydaySexism.
OSV is delighted to share this short film of our Latitude 2022 appearance, courtesy of documentary-maker extraordinaire @JenSShaw:

OSV greets the new year with a deeply good bit of thinking by composer and activist @UriAgnon on 'indeterminate music' – writing pieces that make the performers' actions matter. Also on smuggling violins into the British Museum for a rowdy protest...

Interesting list of ‘top 10’ 2022 protest albums via @shadowproofcom. Good to find UK music: @BobbyVylan (the excellent Price of Life LP) & Scotland's @Ashenspire_ "sonic exploration" of hostile architecture. One for @SubversiveSong to RT.

Can our musical choices resonate outside the concert hall?
I wrote for the excellent @SubversiveSong about indeterminate music & activism, looking at performers' choices in a @dropbp protest-performance and in the @SUSOrchestra commissioned 'Or Never'.

Ah very cool the fine people over at @SubversiveSong have uploaded the demo versions of our original songs from "Songs of Hope and Protest". I'd love it if you follow the link and take a listen.
Let's mark what feels like one of the first days of good news for the world in far too long with three new songs – fruits of our partnership with the almighty Common Lot!

Delighted that @billybragg was in the house tonight in Bridport, as ever providing a great hug and a political booster shot. He gave me my start at Glasto in 2010, the gig from which almost all others can be traced, so you can blame him for all of it

Pleased to say that, thanks to @ahrcpress, next year I'll be working with @DASHARTS and @OratoryPolitics exploring links between theatre & political rhetoric, teaching people how to write/deliver speeches and organising a festival of political speech to which you're all invited.
