Walls Come Tumbling Down charts the pivotal period between 1976 and 1992 that saw politics and pop music come together for the first time in Britains musical history; musicians and their fans suddenly became instigators of social change; and the political persuasion of musicians was as important as the songs they sang. Through the voices of campaigners; musicians; artists and politicians; Daniel Rachel follows the rise and fall of three key movements of the time: Rock Against Racism; 2 Tone; and Red Wedge; revealing how they all shaped; and were shaped by; the music of a generation.Composed of interviews with over a hundred and fifty of the key players at the time; Walls Come Tumbling Down is a fascinating; polyphonic and authoritative account of those crucial sixteen years in Britains history.
