George Mann - film screening & concert

George Mann

From the USA, singer/songwriter & film-maker George Mann will be performing as well as screening his film 'A Union Man: The Life & Work of Julius Margolin'.

‘A Union Man’ is the story of the life of Julius Margolin, a tireless fighter for workers’ rights, equality and against war. Julius found a second career making music & CDs with George while still hitting picket lines & organising workers throughout the USA right up till his death last year from leukemia at the age of 93.


Here is what George has to say (taken from his web site):

I've been making music, 'seriousl,' since 1998, when I teamed up with Julius Margolin and began a decade of fun and frustration, singing for the cause of unions and in protest for 8 years against a stolen election and illegal president. Julius never once would concede that George Bush was president . . . I accepted it and fought. We produced three CDs of our music and four CDs in the "Hail to the Thief" compilation series that ended, thankfully, with "Farewell to the Thief!" in 2008.

Along the way, we made a film about Julius ("A Union Man"), got to know some wonderful people and musicians, and played for people on both coasts and in between. When Julius faced his final illness last in the summer of 2009, he did so with the love and support from literally hundreds of people all over the world who knew of his dedication, determination, and love for the struggle. Julius died on August 24, 2009, one week after his 93rd birthday, leaving me as a solo act.
