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.
