The Battle of Cable Street 90th Anniversary Celebration Gig

The Prince Albert hosts a gig on Saturday 7 November, marking 90 years since the Battle of Cable Street. It's put on by The Real Music Club and supported by Love Music Hate Racism, with the night framed as a celebration of resistance and community strength. The line-up brings together Dog of Man, Jesus & The Zealots, Gregg McKella and Tim Burness.

The date refers back to 1936, when around 100,000 people took to the streets of East London to confront Oswald Mosley's Black Shirts. The night also looks closer to home: it recalls the Battle of South Street in Worthing in 1934 and the more recent 'Battle of Trafalgar Street' here in Brighton in June this year. The Prince Albert itself has its own place in that history, having become a scene of resistance when the far right marched past it; a newly installed blue plaque now documents the defiance shown by a community united against fascism.

The bill draws on local and personal connections. Jesus & The Zealots frontman Henri Parnell grew up near Cable Street, and Gregg McKella is the Brighton-based frontman of Paradise 9. Between them, they'll share the stage with Dog of Man and Tim Burness, four acts playing one night in a pub that's seen its own share of the same story. The music starts at 19:45, and tickets are £13.00 guide price.
