Straight from the Vancouver Folk Festival, and on his last North American tour, Leon Rosselson brings his thought-provoking, moving, and brilliant songs to Nanaimo. Rosselson has been writing and performing topical, provocative and satirical songs for over 50 years. In 2010, Rosselson released The Last Chance: Eight Songs on Israel-Palestine, an album that reflects on his experiences and concerns as a secular Jew faced with one of the critical issues of our times: the Israel/Palestine conflict. His World Turned Upside Down, a tribute to the Diggers, made it into the pop charts in 1985, in a version by Billy Bragg.
For further information on Rosselson check his website at http://www.leonrosselson.co.uk/.
The evening will include a display of selections from two art projects initiated and co-ordinated by B.C. artist Elizabeth Shefrin. One is on Israeli-Palestinian peace, with contributions from people worldwide, and the other is a collection of fabric self-portraits and messages created by Palestinian women and children from Bethlehem.
‘No composer of songs in our native tongue, it seems to me, gets close to his [Rosselson’s] level of eloquence. Whether addressing weighty world issues or the foibles of human behaviour, his powers of expression should make any would-be songwriter envious’ Salut! Live |

URGENT: Call to a RALLY in Vancouver |
|

Authorities in Greece have stopped flotilla boats from sailing
Greek and Canadian governments complicit in Gaza blockade
You might have already heard the news coming from Greece that the Tahrir together with the US ship have been prevented from leaving the Greek port and that one Canadian has been threatened with being arrested. You can see our press release below.
Rallies are being organized across Canada to protest against the actions of the Greek government that is obviously giving in to Israel’s pressure. Of course the Canadian is complicit by not guaranteeing the safety of Canadians.
The date for the rally is Saturday July 2 at 2 pm in front of the CBC at Georgia and Hamilton. SPREAD THE WORD SO WE CAN HAVE A HUGE RALLY!!!!
