Sudan Palestine fundraiser at the Red Rattler

 I went along to a fundraiser for victims of war in Sudan and Palestine - one that could only be promoted word of mouth because of fear of Israeli apologists' intimidation. They obviously know facts and world opinion are on their side!

 

 

This is Isaiah Riley and Thomas singing some lovely songs accompanied by Thomas.

 

 

 

We're all dead - Josh Shipton .

 

Eventually we're all dead, so let's play - joyfully - while we are here

A closer view

 

 

This is a sketchy rendition of Silver Foxes, Anousheh and Josh

And I wish I'd taken a note of the name of this act, a keyboarder accompanying a singer playing guitar . Please someone fill me in

 

Thanks to everyone for entertaining us and contributing. We also watched a video made by a student who has lived through the bombardment, starvation and genocide, the constant displacement from ruin to ruin, freezing/boiling leaking tent to freezing/boiling leaking tent
