BRIAN ENO & STOP THE WAR COALITION present
Do we want to continue to be proud little partners of a bunch of medieval rednecks or are we going to choose to do something about it?” Brian Eno
At a time when opposition to the war and occupation of Iraq is stronger than ever and when, according to a British Ministry of Defence inspired poll, more than 80% of Iraqis are reported as opposed to the continued presence of ‘Coalition’ troops there is a greater need than ever for the anti-war movement and its work.
Brian Eno, who has been an outspoken opponent of the occupation and headed a letter to Tony Blair calling for British troops to be withdrawn by the end of this year, has joined with Stop the War Coalition to present a benefit concert in London on Sunday 27 November. He will perform with the Rachid Taha Band and the bill also includes Nitin Sawhney and Imogen Heap.
Money raised at this concert will help with the Coalition’s support of Rose Gentle and other military families who are seeking an independent inquiry into the legality of the war and who have been refused legal aid. Money is also required for the International Peace Conference to be held in London on 10 December with delegates from Iraq, USA and the UK.
