You can’t put a price on integrity

I have just read the article on the Redskins [MOJO 332], not before time as they have never gained the praise they’re due, and surely they’re more relevant than ever. I was lucky to have seen them a few times, though the only gigs I remember are York Racecourse and supporting The Clash on the Out Of Control tour in Brixton. They definitely sang like The Supremes! In 2019, I had Billy Bragg sign one of his books and asked him to write “stop, strike, unionise” as the dedication. I’m a nurse, it felt appropriate. Billy said, “The Redskins, great band, bloody difficult to tour with.” Dave Portch, Exeter
