Something for the weekend: Jesse Welles and Joan Baez “No Kings”

Well that’s it from us for another week dear reader. If you’re an AUK supporter your new playlist along with this month’s fabulous giveaway will be with you at 5pm. In the meantime we leave you this week with what feels like as relevant a track as ever given the grim news from US over the last few days. You suspect there will be grimmer weeks still, so it’s important songs still have the power to unify people and hold us up. Arkansas-based Welles’ song ‘No Kings’ was originally released last year but has now been rerecorded with Joan Baez – it sounds great.

Take care, don’t forget Palestine – there’s a lovely piece in The Guardian today about someone in Gaza growing a garden as an act of resistance – and keep fighting the fascists. See you next week.

Listen to our weekly podcast presented by AUK’s Keith Hargreaves!
