About the Campaign:
Our music is living testimony to the fact that cultures can and do mix. It unites us and gives us strength, and offers a vibrant celebration of our multicultural and multiracial society. Racism seeks only to divide and weaken us. Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) was set up in 2002 in response to rising levels of racism and electoral successes for the Nazi British National Party (BNP).
We use the energy of our music scene to celebrate diversity and involve people in anti-racist and anti-fascist activity – as well as to urge people to vote against fascist candidates in elections. LMHR has helped to mobilise against further BNP election victories, in the tradition of the Rock Against Racism (RAR) movement of the late 1970s.
There have been now been over 400 LMHR events, from large outdoor festivals to local gigs and club nights. Top artists who’ve performed at LMHR events include Ms Dynamite, Hard -Fi, Babyshambles, Akala, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Estelle, The View, Lethal Bizzle, Roll Deep and Basement Jaxx. Just as important are the up-and-coming bands, DJs, MCs and their fans who have performed at or organised their own local LMHR nights.
We want to create a national movement against racism and fascism through music, so it’s vital everyone gets involved however they can.

Launched in 2006 at Reading and Leeds Carling Weekend Festival, 2007 proves to be an even busier year with hopes of returning to Reading and Leeds aswell as Download festivals coming onboard :-)

Who is behind Don't Lose The Music?
RNID is the largest charity working to change the world for the UK’s 9 million deaf and hard of hearing people. We run the Don't Lose The Music campaign.
The campaign aims to stop young people from damaging their hearing through over exposure to loud music. We want to increase the number of people who are aware of the dangers and also increase the number of people taking action to prevent hearing damage.
The campaign is not about:
*stopping people from going to gigs, clubs, festivals or from using personal audio equipment
*preaching to young people or telling people not to listen to music
*making clubs or other venues turn music down
Why is this campaign important?
*Social noise levels in the UK have tripled since the early 1980s. This means we are exposed to more noise in our daily lives than generations before us.
*Regular exposure to loud noise can lead to premature hearing loss. It can also cause ringing in the ears which can become permanent, a condition called tinnitus. Once hearing damage occurs there is no cure, yet noise induced hearing damage is preventable.
*RNID research found that huge numbers of young people are experiencing warning signs of potential hearing damage (ringing and dull hearing) yet they don't know what they should do to protect their hearing.
*The Medical Research Council estimates four million UK adolescents are at risk of hearing damage from amplified music.
*In other areas of public health – diet, sex, smoking, alcohol, drugs, sunbathing – the public has been provided with information which allows them to make an informed choice. Sadly, this is not the case with the dangers of over exposure to loud music.
