My G20 music videos - live at Put People First demo in London
Steve Wallis
the upcoming G20 meeting on Saturday. I had taken along songsheets
containing lyrics of two of my songs/musical poems "Do They Know It's
G20 Time?" and "The World Is Planned" to hand out, and recorded solo
performances of those songs at the demonstration - see links later in
this email. I later came across an anarchist contingent and had a go
at recording a song "On My Own" I had written dedicated to an Indian
anarchist living in New York, Priya Reddy (who sometimes likes to be
known as "warcry"). [Note that I wrongly thought she had been a
political prisoner; let me use this opportunity to correct that false
information about her, which I also made clear in the recording of the
song.] I can usually remember the lyrics to that song very well, but
somebody shouting "Freedom" put me off - I think that performance in
particular is rather funny, but you should enjoy the others too!
There is a serious purpose behind me putting these videos on the
internet - putting forward some of my political views and encouraging
people to protest in further demos in London when world leaders are
here to try to find a capitalist economic crisis that many analysts,
including billionaire investor George Soros, are predicting could lead
to total meltdown of the financial system or perhaps bankruptcy of the
UK, which many more surely fear after the failed auction of government
bonds (gilts) last week.
For details of demos in London on Wednesday (1st April) and Thursday
(2nd April), go to www.g-20meltdown.org or www.stopwar.org.uk.

Putting two different ways of viewing the videos guards against
censorship; I thought I had been censored by YouTube when I uploaded
the first video (a message said it was no longer available)...
