An oral history of Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone, and Red Wedge, consisting of interviews with over a hundred and fifty contributors, from the acclaimed writer of Isle of Noises.
<p><i>Walls Come Tumbling Down</i> charts the pivotal period between 1976 and 1992 that saw politics and pop music come together for the first time in Britain's 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.<br><br>Composed of interviews with over a hundred and fifty of the key players at the time, <i>Walls Come Tumbling Down </i>is a fascinating, polyphonic and authoritative account of those crucial sixteen years in Britain's history.</p>
