“Inspired by The Clash and militant soul music the
Redskins burnt brightly in the 1980s. They raged against capitalism with fire,
passion and revolutionary politics. The 1984-5 miners’ strike was the pinnacle
of their power, playing benefit gigs, appearing on TV and raising support for
the strikers. This ten-minute tribute brings together the best of their songs,
videos and interviews. The Redskins are gone but their legacy lives on with a
message much needed today. Radical culture is a crucial component for any
movement for mass social change. Thanks and solidarity to all the musicians and
filmmakers who made this tribute possible. Take no heroes – only inspiration.”
