This is a fairly decent cover of the popular song with lyrics relevant to the oppressed people of Palestine. So long as Palestinians can sing of freedom, they will be free. – If you care, please give it a share –
Smokey And The Bandit – West Bound And Down
This series of movies was very popular in the eighties when Burt Reynolds was at his peak. Sally Fields lent some credibility to the whole lot, but it was all tongue-in-cheek. This song was part and parcel of the movie and is best enjoyed whilst driving and watching out for smokeys, papa bears, Evel Knievals, […]
Bagpipes And Uilleann Pipes In Duet
Here we have a combination of the pipes of Ireland and the pipes of Scotland as they play a selection of tunes for your pleasure. The ties between these two Gaelic nations run deep and stand strong. Hopefully both will soon find the freedom so long denied them. – If you care, give it a […]
Blade (1998) – Opening Nightclub Scene
This clip is from the beginning of the movie Blade (1998) in which an unsuspecting human is lured into a vampire nightclub, with horrific results. It’s amazing to think that this movie is now 20 years old. How many vampires have been vanquished since then? – If you care, give it a share –

Doc Watson – US Ballad – Wayfaring Stranger
This is a beautifully haunting ballad from the United States and is an example of what is best about that national behemoth. The US has an impressive musical culture that has become overshadowed by the actions of successive administrations who have plundered and are plundering the world. When the citizens of the US again embrace […]
AC/DC -Rock N’ Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution
It’s easy to forget just how good some of these tracks are. This one should be played very loudly. The lampshades should dance and your OAP neighbours should think a helicopter has just landed on their roof. Wake them up! – If you care, give it a share –
Palestine Version Of See You Again
And now for something completely different. Or not all that different. Perhaps just a little off to one side. And not really all that far at that. Oh, for fuck’s sake, just watch the damn video and see what you think. Or don’t think. We wouldn’t want to tell you what to do. The kettle’s […]
Scottish Balladeer – Dick Gaughan – Craigie Hill
This is a haunting Scottish ballad performed by the Glaswegian maestro, Dick Gaughan whom has the voice of a hard-drinking Scottish angel who would sing you to happiness, or knock your fuck in, dependent upon how you behave. Any country would be privileged to have a musician such as Dick Gaughan. This song will tug […]

Parcel O’ Rogues – Dick Gahan
This musical rendition of the Robbie Burns poem is as powerful a piece of rebellious music as you will ever have the pleasure of hearing. Although Rebel Voice was of the opinion that the Luke Kelly version could not be bettered, this one by the Glasgow great really tests that belief. Who better to sing […]
