Folk Against Fascism
The British National Party has recently been appropriating British folk music, customs and culture as a means of spreading their racist policies. They are selling traditional music through their Excalibur merchandising arm, despite the protestations of many of the artists included, who find their policies abhorrent.

I am strongly opposed to the misappropriation of our traditional music for this purpose. While I celebrate our national traditions in my music, song and stories


• I will never knowingly permit my music to be used for racist purposes, and if you ever find it being so used please tell me.
• I wish to make it quite plain that, regardless of my love for British traditional music, dance, song and customs, I DO NOT support or endorse the BNP or any of its policies – in fact I find them abhorrent.

There are Folk Against Fascism groups on Facebook and MySpace, and there will be a website in due course which will have details of further plans. I will put a link to it as soon as I have it, but in the meantime please also consider signing the Hope Not Hate petition
