Campaign supporters

Here are just some of the musicians, DJs and MCs who are giving their support to Love Music Hate Racism.

Carl Barat, The Libertines
"People don't necessarily realise there's still such a problem and that there's something rotten in the state of racism in this country. I support this cause and encourage everybody to do the same."

DJ Asha
"Things have improved a great deal over the last 20 years in terms of racism, but there's a danger of complacency about the Nazis. We have to continue that fight."

David Gray
"...everyday brings fresh talk of enemies in our midst. The BNP senses an opportunity, and they are working flat out to establish themselves as a voice in british politics. This gig and this campaign is a wake up call to the complacent and the apathetic to say 'get off your arse - they must be stopped!"

Doves
"We find it hard to believe that people still have prejudices over race, colour or creed... we can’t just sit back and let it go unchallenged."

Killa Kela
"Taking influences and getting inspiration from all sorts of cultures and backgrounds is what music is all about."

MC Foxy
"We've got to do something to represent the true people of Britain, our multicultural society. The BNP actually doesn’t represent the vast majority of people in Britain. It’s time for inequality to cease and justice to prevail."

Miss Black America
"We have to stop the Nazis now! This is a great opportunity to bring people together – that’s what music can do."

Ms Dynamite
"I want to live in a society where no one is judged by the colour of their skin - we're all beautiful and we're all equal!"

Skeme & Big P
In regard to the BNP, most of them don't know anything about themselves or their own history, let alone anyone elses! Black people have never attacked England or invaded it. My Mother and Father were invited here. So why do the BNP hate us when we built the place along with all the other slave colonies?

Sona Fariq
"We want to be involved so that we can blatantly make a protest and show the Nazis that they are fighting a losing battle. "

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
"It's up to us all to destroy the ignorance that fuels racist attitudes in this country."

The Libertines
"For evil to triumph, all that is necessary is that good people do nothing. Apathy is a killer and it's easy to be complacent. We're dedicated to this in the same way we're dedicated to melody and bringing people together through music."

The Music
It’s 2004, and people are still racist in many places in the world, and it’s got to stop."

The Shining
"It's scary what happened in Burnley with the BNP getting onto the council. We're only here for a short time and you have to stand up for what you believe."
