Episode 33 of #speakupthursday featured the author of the brand new book ‘Babylon is Burning’ Rick Blackman. On this episode we discuss this incredible piece of work which is an analysis of 3 musical movements that have opposed fascism in 3 different eras of Britain, the 1950s, the late 1970’s and the first 2 decades in Britain. Rick brought along a playlist that could arguably be a soundtrack to the book itself. The book is available now at https://bookmarksbookshop.co.uk
