Newcastle and Darlington Rock Against Racism gigs (SW 1 Oct 77)

A tour of England with Bill Hampton, brother of murdered Chicago Black Panther Fred Hampton, hosted by Flame (source: SW 1 Nov 1977). The latter started off a black paper linked to SWP but most ended up going their own way (see this interesting piece). The tour included a couple of socials with Silver Camel Sound System, who were linked to central London reggae record shop Daddy Kool, and Matumbi (including Denis Bovell).
