The Boycott Coca-Cola Experience
Tim Siddall aka The Boycott Coca-Cola Experience sings very funny agit-prop blues about the environment, food, love and gas. Blessed with a flair for the obscure view-point and a haltingly beautiful guitar style, BCCE is a huge talent evolving at high speed.

The SOAS Middle Eastern Music Ensemble
A multicultural, multinational group sensation, emerging from the UK ’s centre for Arabic culture and study. The Ensemble will make your body quiver and your heart sing with their Arab, Persian and Turkish sounds.
Something in the Water
Joe Murphy (from Sergeant Buzfuz) and Polly MacLean (from Kinkajou) join forces with a strange gleam in their eyes to bring you back-alley ballads and dark duets. They will be joined by violinist Thom Alder from David Cronenberg's Wife.

East Dulwich Stop the War Group
...was founded in 2002 to campaign against the occupation of Afghanistan and the war on Iraq . We are affiliated to the national Stop the War Coalition. We need all sort of help with creating a website, publicity, running stalls, organising meetings, making a banner… and whatever else you can think of!
Please get in touch by emailing edstwg@hotmail.co.uk.
Why we are raising money
The Israeli Defence Force massacred 1500 men, women and children and injured over 5000 in the attacks on Gaza in December and January. The people of Gaza are now continuing to suffer and die for want of water, food, shelter and medical supplies. Both Egypt and Israel are hindering aid reaching people in desperate need in the Gaza strip. Israel is backed militarily and politically by the US and Britain .

Support the boycott
Check that what you are buying in the supermarket doesn’t come from Israel . There are many British and US companies that sponsor the Israeli state and its campaign of terror against the Palestinians. The main ones are:
1. CATerpillar
2. Starbucks
3. McDonald’s
4. Estée Lauder
5. L Oréal
6. Marks & Spencer
7. Sara Lee
8. Coca-Cola
9. Intel
