It was an honour for us to be invited back by the International Brigade Memorial Trust to perform as part of its annual commemoration of those brave men and women who left these shores in the 1930s and travelled to Spain to fight fascism.

As always, this very well attended event was both dignified and charged with emotion.  There was fine poetry, speeches and music.  Alongside seeing many old friends, it was very nice to hear and make the acquaintance of the highly talented young singer Maddy Carty and to know that, through people like her, the sacrifices made by those who went to Spain will not be forgotten by the generations to come.
