amazing work by all 👏🫡

I visited Walsall for the first time last year. It's a lovely town, but there are a lot of problems there as covered in this video. The people of Walsall are some of the nicest people that I've ever encountered though. It's a town with a lot of heart that could thrive again.

Only saw them once but was ruined by a mob of right wing Skins about halfway into gig

Thanks a lot

i left 2 years ago

my teachers come on avenue

"Look up and you will see the crotch of the matter. They wear the trousers but who frigging makes 'em," Chris Dean (I think!)

The world would be a better place if more people understood the RedSkins message. Martin said everything I expected from the leftist side, Thx Martin for vibes U did as the band

When I discovered their album completely by accident, I was completely surprised. especially after the band's name. it was the nineties, full of skinhead fascists, and here was such a surprise. They recorded an album with a unique sound, in a unique band. and they turned out to be left-wing, which also surprised me. To this day they are one of my favorite bands. They gave their all and had a message for the listeners. and it is still very good today. It's a pity there's only one album. maybe one, but unique

Great interview. The Redskins were a very influential band to me from a very young age.

Nice one oi oi FCK Nazis

Brov I'm going into year 7 now and remember how the good times I had by the way my teacher in year 6 was Ms shah

Bro I'm now going into yr 11 I came to this primary in yr 2, time goes so fast I'm now going into yr 11😢😢😢

I moved out, yobs in Birchills, tyre dumping, all this 14 years ago. What a dump. Went back a few weeks ago, i left with a tear in my eye.

I worked at back of IMI, What a contrast the non industries there now.

I can’t believe I am just discovering this Great band now!

Just get The Redskins back -where the fuck is Chris?

The 'homeless people sitting outside shops' are grifters who are housed in local hostels and can't manage their free money.

This man will pay for the cruelty he caused to innocent animals

Damn I remembered all the good memories i had in that school

one of a kind.

Very underrated band from the 80s.

Decent bloke alright. Still love the Redskins.

My school

Mental that GLC riot in June 1984, never liked the NF.

This interview shows what a nice, modest bloke Martin is. I saw The Redskins three or four times in the eighties and loved their attitude and their music. I wasn't a socialist then and I'm even less so now, but their album 'Neither Washington Nor Moscow' was, and still is, a regular listen for me. Their commitment to their cause was impressive and unwavering, but Chris Dean was complicated, too single-minded and often, unnecessarily provocative, so they weren't a regular on TV or the radio, had personnel problems and inevitably, split too soon. Even so, if they were around today in our currently divided society, I reckon they'd go down a storm!

That's was my old 🏫

:( POOR YOU, DIDNT'N KNOW WHAT A COMUNISTS BAND WAS ABOUT , YOU FUCK STUPID MAN!

Universal Basic Income today! give money to the homeless today! i gave $2.50 CDN to the homeless this week!

I'm obviously coming very late to this discussion but having spent a good couple months in close contact with Chris, Martin and Paul while co-producing Neither Washington Nor Moscow I detect some revisionist history here. While Martin is correct that all three members contributed to the "success" of the band I don't think that Chris Dean's contributions can be overstated. Chris wrote and sang the songs. He was the most effective spokesman for the band and while perhaps being somewhat self absorbed he was a powerful presence and was central to the essense of the band. Warts and all. What few people experienced was the band's sense of humor. They were enjoying their moment in the sun. After all these decades and a lifetime of experiences Chris still crosses my mind often.

Commie crap

It took till 9:44 before I heard a Walsall accent.

Fascinating interview, underrated band

Scott the homeless Guy with zimba his dog. sadly passed away .. Thankyou for the video 😁 x

It wasn't council funding that built the town of a 100 trades, it was enterprise. Council and government funding isn't the answer, begging in fact is not the answer. Learning to have your own initiative is the cure and that's whats lacking and has caused the poverty. A nation always needing a government to do stuff or get free stuff. I'm from Walsall and I used to see shame when peole claimed benefits from the gov now its seen as normal. Labour destroyed the Black Country, destroyed its work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit, now folk just blame and beg. See for yourself.

Not just Muslim Men

Men need to step up! Especially Muslim men, change the culture & keep women safe

Great stuff. Lovely guy

Great to see the recording . Thanks

I was one of the marchers. I came from Narborough Norfolk FREE PALESTINE

Great film. Captures the first day of this rebellion shutting down central London .

Companies that support pride in London and the ones that stay silent. Why? kzbin.info/www/bejne/immTdpWDnsShhq8

I wonder how many people were there. It was bigger than i thought it would be.

We need more kids brave enough to come out as trans

one of the best gigs I went too.

I have removed the transphobic comments, but repost this response with apologies for the delay in dealing with this. The rights of the trans community is not up for debate here and transphobic comments will be removed and posters blocked. "Trans rights are human rights, and in no way would ever impede on the rights of women (or men for that matter) because trans men are men and trans women are women. They only seek to enlighten and broaden the rights already in place for the two recognized genders for those who have chosen to undergo transgender transformations, and in no way take away from the rights that both genders already have as a privilege" (all comments held for review on this video)

Excellent celebration of the day of protest for Trans Rights. Solidarity.

Love to you from Alex the Bastard xxx.

Weller,Dammers & The Clash;-)

Absolutely brilliant tribute, thank you so much for creating and posting this! The band deserved nothing less of course. The commentary is spot on talking about the band's passion - they had so much energy live that if you'd hooked them up to the National Grid you could probably run London for a week! But their lyrics are as timeless as their music, everything they say in those interviews is so relevant today. A legendary band, I realise now how privileged I was to have been able to see them play live. Genius.
