We live in a tremendously vibrant, diverse and colourful society. One society, many different subcultures…..60 million individuals.

Little can do more damage to our society than fractures caused by racism. Whilst racism is not seen as an issue for society as a whole these divisions will continue to exist.

2004 is a decisive year in the fight against racism as the BNP are pushing for an electoral breakthrough that may bring them out from the margins of British politics -something that our society cannot afford to let happen. Far right parties like the BNP prey on the vulnerabilities within our communities, casting social problems as cultural ones, inciting race hate and causing cultural barriers.

Our music is a living testament to the fact that cultures can and do mix. Music unites us and gives us strength, while racism seeks only to divide and weaken us. No matter what genre, music brings us together and offers a vibrant celebration of our multicultural and multiracial society.

Working closely with leeds unity, Unite against Fascism, the GMB and other interested parties United By Music has joined together many of the region’s best musicians, dj’s, venues and promoters to create a month long festival as a celebration of our music and a stand against racism in an effort to generate awareness about the oncoming elections.
