The year is not 1991, but I think we should all heed the warnings in this song. They are as applicable today as when it was written.

12.2025 heizten The Levellers dem Publikum im Kölner Palladium als Support von New Model Army ordentlich ein. Mitreißende Fiddles, klare Haltung und jede Menge Energie – hier sind die Bilder eines Abends:

Ja, war echt ein klasse Abend. Hat viel Spass gemacht, viele nette Leute wiedergesehen.
So Feierabend, paar Stündchen noch ausruhen, dann Themenabend englischer Bürgerkrieg unter Oliver Cromwell. Und ganz nebenbei noch 25 Jahre Weihnachtskonzert in Kölle.
the more i listen, the more memories. #TheLevellers on #MusicBeforeBedtime
i have been crying for a few ppl i know are no longer here, unless they managed to finally defy death, as they were fucking trying back in the day.
i just realised, i briefly spoke to the singer before i suddenly left. i think i left because it was overwhelming, the emotions washing over me because i remembered all these ppl who are mostly now dead or disappeared all over the globe.
i never actually processed their loss & what we went through together. cause it was fucking mental. i think i should write a fucking book about it cause i know most ppl don't have such a roller coaster of a life which such insanely extreme experiences which are also amazing, beautiful & just so rich in wild & wonderful experiences. powerful to me.
tonight i had a blast from the past by the acoustic set of #DanDonnelly & #JonSevink from #TheLevellers.
it was very emotional because so many memories got triggered.
you know, the levellers for me and my traveller community back in the 90s was like what crass is for my punk community..

back then, i was squatting for hundreds of new age travellers who fled thatcher after the #BattleOfTheBeanfield & came to my city in NL where i was heavily involved in the squatting scene. they were traumatised & looking for shelter, work & community.
we listened and played levellers songs all the time, we went to a gig once in a convoy of 5-6 vehicles, & went completely mental at the gig. i think for them, the music was helping them deal with the trauma they went through in england, & then in NL, cause we were facing diabolical living conditions too.
i didn't hear these songs for 30 yrs, and now i got blown away by everything i associate with it.
how powerful #music is.
#RIP everyone who didn't make it, i know many who knew me then are likely dead now. but if you read this & remember a punk called gif, (you'll recognise my profile pic) get in touch 🖤
