I was thinking about that Southwark Town Hall song recently, I used to have it on vinyl in a yellow sleeve I recall. Was that what it was about - I know their political judgement was later called into question (to say the least) but really was moving the Town Hall out of Camberwell/Peckham the priority struggle to sing about in the late 70s?.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17026835814805695527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-31918698658860606922009-04-15T13:50:00.000+01:002009-04-15T13:50:00.000+01:00The song 'UK' by the odd old punkers Crisis featur...The song 'UK' by the odd old punkers Crisis features the line 'Kevin Gately was an accident, know what I mean!!' I think it's from 1978 or 1979. They also had a song called No Town Hall all about the local Southwark struggle to resist the moving of the Town Hall on Peckham Rd to somewhere posher. Strange as the band were from Guildford. Some of them went on to be in Death In June, a band of some reputation for confusing artwork and message re: Nazism.THE RUINISThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236992578589602948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-46059270018197105982009-04-15T08:51:00.000+01:002009-04-15T08:51:00.000+01:00Thanks for all these, for this post I stuck to jus...Thanks for all these, for this post I stuck to just English examples of police-related deaths, I could certainly fill a few posts with Irish ones and perhaps with others internationally.A2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00270105094279841228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-2246622851213663432009-04-14T17:27:00.000+01:002009-04-14T17:27:00.000+01:00There is a mention of Colin Roach in the Deman Roc...There is a mention of Colin Roach in the Deman Rockerz song 'Iron Lady'.stnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154012375940265739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-13596009470468113492009-04-14T14:15:00.000+01:002009-04-14T14:15:00.000+01:00Oh yeah, and on another punk tip - "Carlo Giuliani...Oh yeah, and on another punk tip - "Carlo Giuliani" by ConflictMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359756054171146584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-50803450926271929552009-04-14T10:34:00.000+01:002009-04-14T10:34:00.000+01:00Apparently, The Jam song "Time for Truth" also has...Apparently, The Jam song "Time for Truth" also has a Liddle reference, in "Bring forward those six pigs, we wanna see them swing so high". <br /><br />Must be quite a few Irish folk tunes on this subject...Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359756054171146584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-34307406003329612742009-04-11T23:56:00.000+01:002009-04-11T23:56:00.000+01:00I agree with the sentiments of those punk and new ...I agree with the sentiments of those punk and new wave tunes, but what terrible music! I saw most of the punk/new wave acts of that era, and while TRB were just trite live (as on record), the Upstarts gave me an awful headache (Motorhead in the late-seventies made my head feel worse, but can't think of any other band I'd rank above the Upstarts for giving me a headache). Linton Kwesi Johnson is much better! I can think of a load more anti-cop punk songs but none directly about cop murders. However, for older anti-cop songs what about The Equals "Police On My Back", an under-rated band with some great tunes like "I Get So Excited" and "I Can See But You Don't Know"Mister Trippyhttp://www.stewarthomesociety.org/blognoreply@blogger.com
