ARTISTS FOR SOCIALISM

GLASGOW FILM THEATRE

THURSDAY 10 APRIL, 11.30 A.M.

POLITICS – POETRY - MUSIC


The Scottish Socialist Party will be launching its policy for sport, entertainment and culture at a press conference in the Glasgow Film Theatre tomorrow. It will be hosted and endorsed by a group of leading Scottish writers, actors, artists, film-makers and musicians.

Present at the Press Conference will be Peter Mullan, award-winning actor and director, Gary Lewis, star of “Billy Elliot” and “Gangs of New York”; Alasdair Gray, one of Scotland’s leading writers plus Peter Arnott, playwright, Elaine C Smith, actress and comedienne; Edward McGuire, composer and musician; Kokumo Rocks, performance poet and Angus Calder, writer and many more.

Gary Lewis said,

“The middle ground of politics has become very congested and it is only the Scottish Socialist Party which will break the deadlock and call for the redistribution of wealth which is the solution to so many of Scotland’s problems. The SSP will fight for a better life for ordinary working class people rather than capitulate to the privileged few.”
