Acts of Resistance!...a musical radical history.
What could be more up the Bristol Radical History Group’s street than to time-travel through British radical history with Acts of Resistance? We’re therefore overjoyed to dress up and get down to this new Avant-Folk Punk-Opera.
Acts Of Resistance is a performance of songs, verse and prose commemorating and celebrating 1,000 years of protest and dissent by the commoners of England. Original songs and stories are merged with adaptations of traditional material and found stories to weave a continuous thread that links working people’s struggle across the generations. Hear the voices of history from below such as The Diggers, William Blake, and King Ludd.
Acts of Resistance features a redoubtable trio made up of Steve Lake (self-described “chief show off” with legendary anarcho-punk band Zounds, first appearing on Crass Records and nexus for all kinds of musical troublemakers), Bristolian Emo-folkster Aether Valentine, and Carl Phillip Louis (“folk-punk free-jazz mandolinist and singer/shouter of anarcho-romance poetry”).
History is dead! Long live history… let’s make some more! Set your controls for the heart of the Microplex!
Doors 7.30pm; show starts 8pm. Followed by Q&A with Steve Lake + discussion.
Tickets £5/7 from https://hdfst.uk/e110718 or on the door (if you're feeling lucky!).
