Raise Your Banners/ The Scotsman Article

I'm down in Bradford at the moment at the world's only festival dedicated to political song: Raise Your Banners.  Last night we had Dick Gaughan, Chumbawamba, Tracey Curtis and the Oysterband.  Tonight I'm playing with Roy Bailey, Alistair Hulett, Claire Mooney and Scarlet Heights.  The festival has quite an amazing line-up and the atmosphere is electric.  I am launching the Not In Our Name CD at this festival too.  Yesterday I sold about 45 copies, so it's doing really well.  There was a fantastic article in The Scotsman about the album and protest music in general.  Check out www.living.scotsman.com/music.cfm?id=1777562007 .
