| Email us on redcablesunday@googlemail.com Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor Red Cable Sunday…... was founded by Denis Fernando, who has composed, arranged and performed music all his life; the band's name takes its name from the battle for Cable Street in the 1930s East London where Denis is based. "It means a lot to me as it shows that the evil of fascism can be defeated by ordinary people –I have met people in their nineties now, who were young people in the 1930s, in order to defy the British Nazi equivalent, the Blackshirts who were protected by the police. It is truly inspiring" says Denis. "It is especially relevant as it was the joint effort of the Jewish, Irish and trade union activists that stopped them. Today we have the fascist BNP are making gains in East London and across the country , attacking vulnerable groups such as asylum seekers and demonising Muslims. We've seen where this leads before when Hitler scapegoated the Jewish people…- we need the spirit of unity and activism against fascism that brought people together on Cable street to stop them in their tracks today." Denis graduated at Goldsmiths College in London, was the National Black Students Officer on the executive of the National Union of Students, and now works as an anti-racist activist. Red Cable Sunday sees a unifying of intensely personal music with wider political inspiration – drawing themes and ideologies from the likes of Malcolm X, Muhammed Ali, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and musical footnotes from a wide palette including George Gershwin. "Prelude to the Nocturne" typifies the Red Cable Sunday manifesto – a deliciously dark re-writing of the idea of blackness, it is an abstract and otherworldly piece of grand piano magic,written composed and produced at home, it takes escapism and roots it in lifelong held political beliefs. Starting in the sunlight and ends in the twilight, is born in a major key and dies in a minor and conjures images of big cities like London whilst simultaneously presenting a vision of natural nocturnal landscapes. It sings of the adventure and exhilaration of darkness and the night, the perfect antidote to the poisonous idea that blackness and darkness are evil…..something that is very close to its composer's heart ;-) Some cool orgs that you should get with!
