Love Music Hate Racism Ashburton

15/06/2021

Due to the ongoing Government COVID restrictions around arts and entertainment , we are having to cancel the LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM event in July. Viable alternatives were not conducive to the party/celebration we wanted to create for you, but we are hoping to hold the event later on in the year and remain committed to anti-racism. For those of you that have already bought tickets (thank you for your support), you can get a refund at the ticket site. Cheers for the enthusiasm all the way, particularly the artists, musicians, DJs and performers who agreed to take part with a big hell yeah! Lets keep in touch. All the Love, LMHR Ashburton.
We leave you with this

Hey music lovers, racism haters! I'm proud to introduce Mama Tokus to the LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM hoohah, and she will be kicking it all off for us on the main stage. I'm so bloody excited about this!
“Edifying, entertaining, funky & funny, Mama Tokus is a soulful blues, R&B and gospel-inspired performer from the Deep South West of the United Kingdom.
She writes and sings her own compositions – bringing women’s blues bang up to date for the 21st century. And she injects cheeky humour into her music, making her show memorable and funny for the audience, whilst harking back to sassy female performers like Dinah Washington and Josephine Baker.
Mama Tokus is also a comic poet & MC, performing funny spoken word on subjects including womanhood, technology, language and, of course, music.
She comes from the Thames Delta, now lives close to the Tamar River Delta...but she’s inspired by the Mississippi Delta. Expect a lesson in gospel, soul and blues delivered in Estuary English”

here's a tasty tease

Love Music Hate Racism - Bringing communities together through music

Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) was set up in 2002 in response to rising levels of racism and electoral successes for the British National Party (BNP).
Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) celebrates the energy and vibrancy of the music scene to promote unity and celebrate diversity through education and events. Our message is simple, there is more that unites us than divides us; and nothing demonstrates this more than music. In the tradition of the Rock Against Racism (RAR) movement of the late 1970s, there have been now been many hundreds of LMHR events, from large outdoor festivals to local gigs and club nights.
LMHR is a nationwide grassroots campaign that relies on individuals and groups raising awareness and spreading positive messages in their local communities. The LMHR campaign has a renewed importance with the increase in islamophobia, anti-migrant racism and hostility towards refugees in Britain and across Europe. We think it is time to reignite our national movement against racism through music. On 3 July 2021 Ashburton grassroots community are coming together to celebrate diversity and inclusion.
We are excited to have the following artists confirmed for Love Music Hate Racism Ashburton:
Mama Tokus
Arash Torabi
Jelly Jazz
Weird Dog
PLUS Fringe Bar line-up to be announced soon…

All the love from
