LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM LAUNCH

Love Music Hate Racism Ireland will be launching their Website and awareness campaign at The Twisted Pepper on 23rd July 2009. This event will run in three separate rooms incorporating live music, comedy, graffiti art, photography, and DJ’s .

In a recent statement, spokesperson Kurt Nikolaisen said ’’there are elements of our society that continue to promote anger by the scapegoating and targeting immigrants including migrant workers, refugees, asylum seekers or even students, we need to work to expose these myths and challenge racist ideas’’

Love Music Hate Racism Ireland is not just an organization. It’s a movement. We need people from all walks of life to get involved. We want everyone to play a part in LMHR no matter how big or how small. We want to hear what you have to say, and address issues you find important. Issues that your community, neighbors, friends and family find important where you live. We aim to have a network of support for each and every person involved in LMHR across the county and we encourage people to make suggestions, put on their own events and start their own groups with help from this network’’

Some of the acts confirmed for this event are:

Colour in Countries - Alternative /Rock “...The songs not only have intelligent, well written lyrics, but have a vibe to them that can really get a crowd going... fantastic band that should not be missed, if you have the opportunity to see them, do so.” Lana Winter - Spill Magazine, Toronto

Larry Beau - Indie /Gothic/ Folk ‘’Like a stray from the nether regions of Neil Jordan’s Interview with the Vampire , Larry Beau inhabits a gothic underworld where decadence, lust and horror vie with one another for his, and our, attentions’’ Siobhan Long - Irish Times
