FROM their beginnings in the 1980s, the Velvet Fist acapella women’s choir sang songs of peace, resistance and solidarity in support of struggles in Britain and beyond.
Known for their beautiful performances and innovative arrangements, the choir performed a huge range of material about people past and present and their struggle for liberation, from historical folk numbers to ballads of British feminist and trade-union struggle such as No Going Back by Sandra Kerr, which explored the impact of the 1984-85 miners’ strike on women, to songs of solidarity with struggles around the world like the South African traditional freedom song Senzenina.
