Tribute to Colin Jerwood
(Thanks to 'Send a Thought' for making me write this again!)
Having been an Anarchist since my teens, an anti-war campaigner, and a Vegan for over forty years, the music and content of Conflict has always resonated with me. One of the highlights of Rebellion was always their set. One year, I found myself sat next to Colin, over the road, in a hotel opposite the Winter Gardens. We spoke for a good while about music and our beliefs/influences. It is something I've never forgotten; such an honour; such a pleasure. As I said on my FB tribute; Rebellion wont be the same this year. Someone once told me that Colin wasn't too fussed on Scousers; well, they could have fooled me! My thoughts and love go out to Colin's family; his friends, and to the other members of Conflict. The movement has lost a champion and a shining light, especially in theses darkest of times, but I hope Colin's legacy shines on through our memories of him, and through a continuing Conflict. R.I.P. Comrade/Brother.
