Love Music Hate Racism

On 30 April 2006, Love Music Hate Racism is to launch in Sheffield. LMHR seeks to use the positive energy of Sheffield’s vibrant music scene, as a real life, working example, of flourishing multiculturalism. Our music is living testimony to the fact that cultures can and do mix. It unites us and gives us strength, and offers a vibrant celebration of our multicultural and multiracial society. Racism seeks only to divide and weaken us.

We regret that due to unforeseen circumstances Monday's Dead Prez LMHR show in Liverpool has had to be cancelled. Tickets will be valid for the show in Manchester the following night, or else refunds are available from the the venue or ticket outlets. LMHR will have a presence at Monday's Merseyside TUC Unity Festival, and will be back for more events in Liverpool very soon. LMHR and the Anthony Walker Foundation are currently in talks with other parties about staging a "One Love" outdoor festival in Liverpool in August in Anthony's memory. Contact us if you're in the Merseyside area to get involved.
