Here’s a good song from a Dublin duo supporting the Yes Equality campaign
Mothers & Fathers are a Dublin-based duo who have worked together sporadically who have shown some support for the Yes Campaign in the upcoming Marriage Referendum by releasing a song called ‘I Will Always Love You’, “a response to the bigotry and homophobic rhetoric used against those seeking equality in Ireland’s upcoming referendum.”
The band’s name of course is a reappropriation (an accidental one say the band) of the No campaigners Mothers & Fathers Matter. The song is really quite good too.
You can donate to the yes campaign too or come down to Vinyl Love tonight in Galway.
