Love Music Hate Racism - Glasgow Fundraiser

 

Racism and immigration is, sadly, going to be at the heart of this year’s general election, with both mainstream and fringe political parties employing the tactics of scapegoating immigrants for social and financial issues in today’s society. Building on the positivity generated by recent demonstrations in Glasgow against immigration curbs Love Music Hate Racism aims to challenge racist ideologies by inspiring intellectual debate on these topics ahead of and beyond the general election through a number of music-based events.

On Friday, 01 May at Stereo in Glasgow wonky indie-soul purveyors Pronto Mama, a Glaswegian sextet who released their Niche Market EP in the latter half of 2014 will be supported by Bigg Taj and LM (Young People Army), in a first time show for this exciting collaborative hip-hop duo of a Roma collective member and talented MC and the eclectic free jazz-meets-John Carpenter sounds of duo Cutty's Gym, a band whose discography equals the Sick Glass EP released last year.

The event will be compered by NorthernXposure’s Qyeen, with additional guests also speaking on the night and the event is kindly being sponsored by the Musicians’ Union and Unite Community.

A further event will follow on May 10 with a free screening of The Clash: Westway To The World film at the CCA in Glasgow. The Clash played an important role in the Anti-Nazi League, the precursor to Love Music Hate Racism, making it a wonderfully relevant choice of screening, which will be followed by a short discussion introduced by a panel of guests. The film screening is kindly being sponsored by Unite Community, and supported by the CCA itself.

immigrants and fighting racism across the country

of music to bring people
together. This year we will be furthering our commitment to fighting racism
