LOVE MUSIC, HATE RACISM FESTIVAL COMES TO S.YORKS
LOVE music, hate racism is the message from some of the leading names in British music who are taking part in a huge carnival in Barnsley town centre on May 1. Some of the UK’s top live acts and DJs will
come together to celebrate Britain’s diverse multicultural society by rocking and raving together with music loving fans. Members of the bands UB40, the Reverend and the Makers, Chipmunk, and Devlin are spearheading the event organised jointly by Love Music Hate Racism and Barnsley Borough Council. Sheffield’s Jon McClure, aka The Reverend of Sheffield’s Reverend and the Makers,
says the aim of the all-day gig is to send out a message that thousands of people in Barnsley oppose racism and racist organisations. He said: “It will be a pleasure to come to Barnsley ‘cause it’s a reet town and let the racists know were not having any of their nonsense. “And UB40 are playin’ - what more reason do you want? Just need some sunshine.” Another on the line-up, Mumzy Stranger, said: “I support the Love
Music Hate Racism campaign because music has no race or colour, it comes from the soul and the soul is pure!” The festival, to be staged at County Way Car Park, will be Barnsley’s biggest ever day of music, a day of peace, love, unity and diversity-with something for everyone. The festival is a non-profit event with a cause and so tickets are just £8-a fraction of what you’d pay for a commercial music
festival, with just as much great music on show, and you’ll be striking a blow against racism and ignorance into the bargain! In addition to the main festival the Festival Fringe will host over 40 bands in 19 venues across Tickets are available from the city.
