MORNING Star readers and supporters in West Yorkshire’s Calder Valley have pulled in more than £300 at a fundraising concert, organisers announced yesterday.
Sunday’s event took place at the legendary Trades Club in Hebden Bridge, in the heart of the Yorkshire Pennines.
The headline act was Tim Moon, who plays more than 100 instruments. Also appearing was Icarus Williams from Rochdale, who last year walked 300 miles from Jarrow to London as part of the People’s March for the NHS.
A short play inspired by Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and entitled Waiting for George was written and performed by local actors Nicola Vincent and Ruth Urquhart.
The George in question was Chancellor George Osborne, and Beckett’s myth took the form of the Thatcherite “trickle-down” con trick, in which the masses are told that by making the already wealthy even wealthier, Britain’s worst-off will benefit as the rich spread their munificence.
