The Peace Artistes


Jazz and Latin

In post-hippie 1980s Britain, Margaret Thatcher's policies provoked a wave of protest across the country. There was much to protest about: nuclear weapons, racism, attacks on trade unions, cuts in public services and the dreadful Poll Tax. Musicians around the country, from self taught beginners to trained professionals, formed bands to join the growing protests. In Bradford, a few Peace Studies students and some members of CND got together to make a joyful noise on peace marches, with drum, a clarinet, a flute, a couple of saxophones and occasionally an accordion. Suddenly a street-band had appeared, cleverly called The Peace Artistes!
