Yep definately worth the watch, and the levellers Music is brilliently uplifting, energetic, punky with a great sound and message, Fan since childhood. Honest Band, and its not hard to see how they found success among their fellows (:

very interesting and in-depth interview.

[@Pechorinlives]

He mentions about the erosion of English culture, which for the band indeed relates to the curtails on freedom and rights during the late 80s with Thatcher. The band also stands up for pre-Christian English traditions and sites of worship/veneration. But one could also argue that mass immigration - with a population the size of Edinburgh entering England between 2012-2014 - also is a critical challenge to English culture, particularly in places such as the midlands and towns/cities such as Boston, Lincs. In other words, the free movement of the hippies and travelling community come with it the free movement internationally.

You opportunist lol

[@theenchantedfrog9989]

That is lie, you never lived on the island in Amsterdam.... You guys visited a couple of times, we had some good times and a few good gigs, especially at the melkweg..... But there's no need to lie in order to seem more cool.......

[@idlewild073]

I guess you lived with them and know more about them then they do. And Amsterdam is a shithole nothing to be cool there.
