Who played the '90s one? Did Strummer return or was it the likes of Blaggers ITA?

Manic Street Preachers, Billy Bragg, Dreadzone....Levellers and Incognito maybe?

Dreadzone were on a second stage with Daisy Chainsaw or someone like that.

Looking back: 1994 carnival that celebrated the defeat of the BNP - Stand Up to Racism

On this date, 28 May, 1994, over 100,000 people gathered in south London to send a powerful message against racism and the far right. Anti Nazi League

Wasn't the most inspiring tbh. The 2,000's one in Victoria Park had an amazing full brass version of 'Ghost Town' led by Jerry Dammers and Poly Styrene did a song and her voice sounded amazing. Think they were both part of The Good, The Bad and The Queen set.
(I met Albarn once but refused to talk to him on account of him being from Colchester).

Watched the White Riot doc about the Rock Against Racism movement last night (recorded from Sky Arts a while back). Really good, some shocking footage of our recent past - hard to believe that the NF were polling at almost 20% in some areas of London in the mid-1970s.

Any Zoners attend either of those first 2 London RAR carnivals?

Yeah I was there in 1978 (so was RobNoxious too).Saw the film in the summer and thoroughly enjoyed it.(Got a poster for it above the pooter as we speak).

[Ricey]

Cobra Kai, season 3 absolute brilliant!! Great start to 2021.

 

[ESG]

Thought we had selected a film called This is Us on Amazon fire stick.

Really excellent first 45 minutes and then it ended and tee'd up S1 Ep2.

Must have had too much claret that night but now into S1 Ep7 and highly recommend

Now onto S2 E3 and obviously still a good watch

Only watched the 1st episode of the new series. What amazes me is Martin Kove (Kreese) is a couple of months shy of 75! Looks good for it!
