To
complement a magazine
on music, we've included a free CD sampler of anti-war songs by both established
artists and exciting new unsigned bands, produced for us by the Peace Not War
collective. We hope you enjoy it!
In
the process of putting this magazine
together, I've listened to a treasure
trove of great music. If you're
interested in some recommendations,
I've published a songlist on the NIwebsite.
Let
me know what you think!
