Leon Rosselson - UK Troubador
August 06, 2011
The great English radical singer-songwriter, Leon Rosselson, will be touring North America this summer. Beit Zatoun is pleased to host him in Toronto - he will feature many songs from his newest album - The Last Chance: Eight Songs on Israel-Palestine.
Leon Rosselson has been one of outstanding songwriters in the UK for more than fifty years. A number of his songs are standards, including The World Turned Upside Down, his tribute to the Diggers, a 17th-century English Utopian communist group. It was famously covered by Billy Bragg in the eighties.
Last year Leon Rosselson released The Last Chance: Eight Songs on Israel-Palestine, a album that reflects his experiences and concerns as a secular left-wing Jew faced with the reality of the Israeli settler state. Proceeds from the sale of this album go to the UK group "Medical Aid for Palestinians" (www.map-uk.org). Leon Rosselson is an active supporter of the world wide BDS campaign.
