Prior to 2020, it would have been reasonable to assume that, faced with a tyrannical imposition on our most fundamental rights and freedoms, armies of rock musicians would have risen up in protest and activism - particularly those from genres traditionally associated with being “anti-establishment,” such as Punk, New Wave, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal, Rave, Drum ’N’ Bass.
And yet, for the most part from these quarters here has been meek, compliant silence, with only a very small few demonstrating the balls and backbone to stand up and be counted.
Two unexpected contenders have been brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass, better known as 90s pop/ dance act Right Said Fred. Here, they chat about what first motivated them to take a stand, the flak they’ve endured as a result, and just why they think it is that more from their field have not been freely speaking up.
