About me:
THIS YEAR'S GUEST SPEAKER, speaking on Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela and Latin America - *BOB CROW*! (see images below!) .. Some of things the papers say about Bob Crow, guest speaker at Moncada Rocks 2008: "His eloquence makes the rank-and-file members fairly glow with pride" (The Independent); "the country's most hardline and notorious trade union leader" (The Daily Mail); "If there were such a thing as a Communist celebrity, it would be Bob Crow" (The Independent); "the man commonly seen as the nastiest, hardest, meanest man in trade unionism" (The Guardian); "He is loathed by Labour and demonised in the press, but the RMT leader has increased pay and won a historic pensions victory for his members" (The Guardian); "what really gets up the noses of his enemies is that he can claim to be a success" (The Guardian). Bob Crow, General Secretary of the RMT trade union since 2002, is a trade unionist with a unshakebale commitment not only to working people in Britain but to the working class internationally and we are proud to welcome him as our guest speaker, speaking on Colombia, Cuba, Venzuela and Latin America, at Moncada Rocks 2008. Bob has a strong record of supporting Venezuela, Cuba and supporting the campaigns for human rights and justice for trade unionists and others in Colombia - the most dangerous place in the world to be a trade unionist. Anyone who has seen Bob on the television or speaking on public platform at events including the Glastonbury Festival, the Durham Miners Gala and the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival will know that we can expect an inspiring, humorous and uncompromising speech from Bob, who is coming all the way from London especially for Moncada Rocks 2008. .. MONCADA ROCKS 2008 takes place on SATURDAY 7 JUNE at BRUDENELL SOCIAL CLUB, Hyde Park, LEEDS and is the fourth annual all-dayer benefit gig for Cuba. Moncada Rocks exists for two reasons: to raise money and to raise awareness. Check out the blogs to find out what Moncada Rocks 2005, 2006 and 2007 achieved, to find info on this year's line-up and to find other interesting info and news. Moncada Rocks 2008 is raising money for the "Justice for Colombia" project supporting female political prisoners in Colombia by providing humanitarian aid. The project has supplied clothes, blankets, sanitary products, reading materials and medicine to women in various different Colombian jails(http://www.justiceforcolombia.org/?link=5_7). Ta, Richard and Luke.

I know it's a fairly long way off but..... PUT IT IN YOUR DIARIES!!!

MONCADA ROCKS 2008
SATURDAY 7 JUNE 2008, Brudenell Social Club

4th annual all-dayer benefit gig raising money to buy basic necessities (e.g. sanitary towels and blankets) for our sisters in jail in Colombia, unfairly imprisoned simply for being trade union activists.

Bands confirmed so far:

* THE DEMON BARBERS
(folk-funk-punk complete with a violin - one of the best bands in the country, without a doubt)

* BOW & ARROW
(fantastic stoner metal riffs from Liverpool, premiering in Leeds for the first time)

* THE HYDROPATHS
(real rowdy folk punk for drunken fun)

* CONQUEST OF STEEL
(real NWOBHM metal with all the blood and props)

* BEARHEAD
(heavy, alternative, supergroupery)

* SKULL BRANDED PIRATES
(metal with expensive pirate outfits and side-splitting puns)

* TANGAROA
("much over-looked" says Kerrang, technical metal heaviness)

* GUEST SPEAKER (on Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela and Latin America and more besides) - BOB CROW, General Secretary, RMT. The Sun newspaper's current hate figure comes all the way from London to Moncada Rocks....

MORE BANDS to be announced shortly..........................................

* Usual stuff like free event badge and programme to first 200 through the door. Raffle etc. etc.
