Take Down The Union Jack on May 20

Buy this single.

Three versions of the Billy Bragg and The Blokes UK
single Take Down The
Union Jack from the new album England, Half English, will
be released on
Cooking Vinyl on May 20. The price: £1.99 each.

Our aim? To launch the song to the top of the UK charts in
time for the
Queens Golden Jubilee at the start of June. All profits go
to the
not-for-profit organisation the Living Wage campaign in
London. The Living
Wage campaign took some of its inspiration from a similar
group in Los
Angeles, USA, LAANE.

Why should you get involved? If you are dismayed at all
the fawning and
grovelling surrounding the Jubilee celebrations and
wonder why almost no
dissenting view is heard, this campaign is for you.

If you are sick of pop impresarios using dubious
techniques to dominate
the singles charts, and just as importantly the radio waves,
to the
exclusion of anything else, then this campaign is for you [eh? is this irony?].

If you think the minimum wage is not enough and want to
help the Living
Wage campaign force big employers to pay proper rates
of pay for low- or
semi-skilled jobs, especially in expensive areas such as
cities, then this
campaign is for you.

Visit Billy Braggs web site to
read the
official press release issued on St Georges Day (April 23).

What are we asking you to do? Buy the CD as soon as
possible after launch
day on May 20 in order to try and force the single into the
UK pop charts.
If possible, go into your local independent record store
and try to
pre-order it NOW. Encourage as many people as possible
to buy the CD: tell
them via email, a personal web site, in conversation -
however you can. A
Take Down The Union Jack microsite will be launched
soon to help
concentrate everyones efforts. If you want to use any of
the images of the
single from the web site, or the press
release wording,
you dont need permission from us, just copy it and
circulate.

OUTSIDE THE UK?
If you are outside the UK and you want to get involved,
please ask a
friend or relative to buy the single for you in the UK.
Buying it over the
internet will NOT count towards UK chart figures. Already
regular visitors
to our web site Guestbook and Forum are working out
ways to buy the CD for
people outside the country. Spread the word, like a virus.

More San Francisco tips

first of all, are you staying at the W Hotel? If not, it is next to Moscone and the bar in there called XYZ is really great - and the hotel a nice place if you can stay there. Around the downtown area, for lunch especially an SF tradition is Tadich's Bar and Grill - old Czech family run place since prohibition when my grandfather used to pick up gin there in the 1920s to bring down to university! Quite the mob deal then. But they have great ciopinno- and seafood. Also for lunch head up into North Beach (Italian town, next to Chinatown) and have a coffee at Cafe Trieste- off Colombus Street (I think on Green Street) and try lunch at Rosa Pistola- really great food, packed but worth it. Dont go to any other touristy places there, not worth it except the most famous and MUST DO bars at night are Vusuvios (where Ken Kesey, all the beatnics hung out), and Tosca (hard to get into, but worth it if you can get in the door). I also like some of the bars around the strip clubs on Broadway- but I forget the names, they are hard to get into too but if you go early is ok. Great indie music and really local place - "The Bottom of the Hill" it is in Potrero Hill which is also very local, but close area to your hotel, quick cab ride- sort of grunge scene, but will likely go under as Indie Music bars are a dying breed. If you want to head to Fishermans Wharf and try traditional SF crab, go to Scomas, no other place down there I suggest, too touristy, but Pier 23 is cool- it is up towards South Beach and has live music and local scene, esp. thurs- sat nights,but not sure if the music is that great anymore. For going out- I suggest the Mission which is more like Brixton and Soho mixed here with more of the West End when you enter the door- but great clubs - esp. Starlight Lounge (on 16th Street, near Valencia), real Mexican feast and best margaritas at Puerto Allegre (on Valencia St. between 16th and 17th), best sushi in town (hard to get into but worth the wait and BEST cocktails) is called Blowfish Sushi I think it is on Bryant st, in the Mission also. Then there is very popular and swanky bar also- Foreign Cinema with the bar inside called Lazlos- and across the street is classic place called Docs Clock with shuffleboard and strongest cocktails (in pint glasses) one margarita will kick your ass. Nicolas Cage hangs out there. Also the Make Out Room is a good bar with live music over on 22nd st, near Valencia. If you want more upscale the 'Marina' people- the girls that wear pearls and suits or whatever- then go to Russian Hill or Nob Hill- there are great places, esp. for a laugh the Tonga Room- an old 50s Hawaiian theme tiki lounge- one of the last remaining in the country- in the Fairmont Hotel and the Red Room is near there, also Gary Danko- very expensive, best food in town. To head out to the beach which you must do and please check the surf for me at Ocean beach and drink beer is at the end of Golden Gate park in the Avenues and I forget the name, but it is the only restaurant there- they make their own beer too.
