Join us at Notting Hill Carnival

Love Music Hate Racism, together with the National Education Union, will be making a big splash at Notting Hill Carnival 2018 and we want you to join us.
The theme this year is Sunbeam, paying tribute to Claudia Jones founder of the Carnival, the Windrush Generation to which she belonged, and a homage to the warmth of the Caribbean sun.
Once again, we will be collaborating with Smokey JOE Roadshow, to party with a purpose on both days of carnival, Sunday 26th (T-shirt Day) and Monday 27th (Masquerade aka costume Day).
Last year we brought the politics back to the fun- sending our solidarity to the tragedy that was and still is Grenfell. This year we will be out to show that unity and solidarity can triumph over division and hatred that has made its unwelcome presence felt on our streets in recent months.

Love Music Hate Racism @ Soho Radio
The wonderful Revolution Day, organised with Soho Radio and Gideon in central London, as part of the UK-wide Anti-Trump demonstration on 13 July saw a weighty serving of DJs, including Seth Troxler, Midland, Breach, Norman Jay MBE, Luke Howard, Jackmaster and Eats Everything, go back to back in a powerful protest party. LMHR have since kept the relationship blossoming, taking up residency in the Soho Radio shop space for the last fortnight.
We stocked it out with LMHR merch from t-shirts, badges, plectrums to Rock Against Racism books which detail the origins of the campaign all the way back from the 1970s. If you missed us, you can catch specially curated LMHR contributions on air available to listen to across both Soho Radio's cultural and music channel over the next few weeks, with shows and mixes coming from staff and supporters which include: Smokey Joe's Carnival Special, DJ Raff, Enter Shikari, DJ Fira and Heléna Star's History of House Music and many more.
