Originally intended to be held in Burnley, where there are three BNP Councillors, the Carnival was moved to Manchester after being refused a license and is intended as a show of solidarity against the increased influence of the BNP in the Northwest, which has seen an increase in racial tension and racist attacks over the past year. The acts cover a variety of styles and includeMs Dynamite, Doves, Miss Black America,The Shining and Billy Bragg. As well as two stages for performers there will be a dance tent, a kids area, stalls and plenty of food and drink.
The day starts at 11am with a march from Manchester Town Hall, Albert Square, to the carnival site at Platt Fields Park. Transport is being organised across the UK – for further details phone 020 7924 0333 or visit www.anl.org.uk
