PIL Bassist Jah Wobble Teams Up with The Ukrainians for Fundraising Effort

The latest collaboration by original PIL bassist JAH WOBBLE and iconic Leeds-based folk-punk outfit THE UKRAINIANS, featuring yet another legend - former SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES guitarist JON KLEIN is here. The occasion for it's release couldn't be any clearer - 'Ukrainian National Anthem in Dub' is being released as a fundraiser in support of Ukrainian appeals by two UK-based charities dealing with war refugees. The Ukrainians, long-time purveyors of traditional Ukrainian music that is heavily influenced by western post-punk, formed in 1990 following the Wedding Present's Ukrainian John Peel Sessions, in which 3 of its members took part.

Two other artists who have released singles to support humanitarian aid efforts active on the ground in Ukraine - 6TH CROWD (aka DARI MAKSIMOVA) presents 'Sokolonko', reclaiming a nearly-forgotten Ukrainian harvest song from her native Donbass, a region whose Ukrainian history was largely Russified and has been war-torn since 2014. Dari is now a refugee in Ireland and is available for interviews in English, Ukrainian and Russian.

NICK HUDSON, a Brighton artist who has lately been spending months on end in Eastern Europe, presents 'Lights Svoboda' (translates as 'Lights Freedom') embedded with a ray of hope for justice, peace and free speech.
