When Green Lanes said ‘no’ to War in 1914 – 5th August
A re-enactment of the anti-war meeting held outside the Salisbury pub 100 years ago, when the First World War broke out (a bit of history and here).
Come and hear from some of the characters who spoke out then – men who went on to be conscientious objectors, suffragettes who opposed the war, working people who had no quarrel with workers from other countries.
When? 7pm on Tuesday 5 August 2014
Where? At ‘Salisbury corner’ outside the Salisbury Hotel, junction of St Ann’s Road and Green Lanes, N4
What? A rally with a difference. Short speeches from characters dressed as in 1914 with songs of the period sung by Patricia Hammond (mezzo-soprano) accompanied by Matt Redman (guitar, mandolin-banjo)
Join us in The Salisbury afterwards for some more music.
Organised by Haringey First World War Peace Forum and supported by Harringay Green Lanes Traders Association.
