Redskins - Hold On & Keep On Keepin' On (live)

www.redskins.co.uk Redskins playing 'Hold On' & 'Keep On Keepin' On' live. The striking Durham miners name is Norman Strike. Norman's speech can't be heard as the microphone was cut off. But if you want to hear what Norman Strike had to say he did re-record the speech for the Redskins tribute album 'Reds Strike The Blues' which is out on the Red Star Recordings record label and is available from cdbaby.com/redskins

I love that Chris Dean line "the only thing you get for standing in the middle of the road is being run over" Respect lads - the bruises I got at your concerts (and I don't just mean the GLC concert that the NF invaded) would hospitalise me now!

The perfect synthesis of passionate politics and rock'n roll...they might have been SWP but I loved them all the same as they put their politics at the heart of their music, which not only inspired activism but also 'a turn on the dance floor' - no better combination. If only we had bands today with the integrity and conviction of these guys....

[@Vinseneb]

Norman Strike's recollection of this in the doco The Enemy Within is as funny as it is sad..seems a brilliant bloke.

[@tommyo5315]

So much to say in so little time... Get off your ass and play your guitar again man, so what if the world doesn't wake up- shake us up one at a time and do it the hard way :) The sum of our madness is somehow lovely; and this band, just the best.

Fooking great!! But Muriel Grey? What a douche! Not much hair! Never mind her though. Remember this? Back in the days when even smash hits magazine would ask where a bands political alliegances lay in an interview! Its not essential by any means, but it was nice that bands back then often(usually) had an opinion or a political/social point to speak about. As i said, In my opinion it was nice! I think the modern music scene & in fact society and our culture as a whole is missing this today! I
