Shades of Political Song

All the material on this compilation has been donated by the performers to support the Political Song Network.

The project materialised when Kelvin Mattock - one the organisers of the Red and Green Umbrella Club - heard some archive recordings of live performances from the Red Rose Club in Seven Sisters Road (London). The Polical Song Network is a collective of songwriters, singers and enthusiasts that meets in groups around Britain to promote political song through performances and publication.
