Saturday saw The Courteeners help to  bring home an anti-racist message during the Love Music Hate Racism Carnival at the Magna Centre, Rotherham in front of a sold out crowd of over 4000.

The event, arranged by John McClure and LMHR, featured amongst others, Kaiser Chiefs, Reverend and the Makers, Roll Deep, Richard H Kirk from Cabaret Voltaire and The Courteeners.

Taking place on the outskirts of Sheffield in a huge ex-steelworks factory, the gig was arranged to show the swell of anti-racist support in the area after two seats fell to BNP candidates in Rotherham’s local council elections.
