Figures, look at how strike ballots are ruled illegal because of technicalities while bankers get away with everything and our own govt tortures people in secret prisons.

Politicians and industrialists! Bankers, bent scientists, chief constables, generals, all the gentry and their brats, will dance on the wall when the bastards fall, in an English country garden!
Saw the levellers twice at buxton and they were excellent both times there, its just a shame for the shoddy camera work as the equipment used was of good quality!
seen both levellers and mcdermotts quite a few times over a 17 year span never been disappointed either...a new single in march of next year and a new album to follow cant wait..
Nick sings his "corrupt corrupt" chorus from the original song at the same time as mark sings the "kick in the head" chorus from te levellers version. Clash of egos or agreed beforehand? Either way, a great performance.
Ive seen the levs several times and never yet been disappointed, havent yet had the pleasure of McDs up north though.
being listening and seeing levellers in concert and various gigs for 16 years and they are awesome mcdermotts are a brillant band aswell. i had the privilage of seeing them live too wot an experience keep it up

Credit due to the Levs, but nothing beats Nick Burbridge doing Dirty Davey, or any McDermotts songs for that matter. Legendary preformance.
