Probably THE defining image of May Day Festival Of Solidarity 2018; The Moods close us out by blowing the roof off Old School House and STORMING it!

What a weekend! One act after another taking their cues and raising the bar for the next. Tony and me choose who we book very carefully so each is a master of their craft, but not even we could have anticipated what happened over a weekend of sheer magic.

I’ve said it before, but there is something very special about this festival. The spirit of togetherness and respect; the blend of music, poetry and speeches; I don’t know what it is, but we have something genuinely unique here and year after year it just blows us away.

A massive thank you to our speakers: Wayne Gilmore for Barnsley Trades Council; John Dunn for Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign; Vicky Blake for UCU…
