GEE VAUCHER AND Mark Wilson are ‘in conversation’ at an Everything for Everyone event in Bradford taking place today (14 June 2025) The host for their discussion is Boff Whalley (ex-Chumbawamba).
Organised by Home of Metal, the day-long event celebrates the activities of the city’s 1-in-12 Club and the social centre’s embodiment of the “anarchist values of self-management, co-operation and mutual aid”. The programme offers a mix of presentations, displays, live music and in-person panels.
Home of Metal is taking over Loading Bay, Bradford 2025’s pop-up venue in the heart of the city, for an all-dayer celebrating the 1 in 12 Club, Bradford’s long-standing anarchist social centre. Everything for Everyone! explores and celebrates anarchist values of self-management, co-operation and mutual aid with live music, talks, presentations and more.
Live music from:One Leg One Eye, the powerful solo project from Ian Lynch (Lankum), fusing haunting folk traditions with immersive, experimental sound to create a bold and unforgettable sonic experience
Hang Linton, a Leeds-based musician who blends punk, noise and alternative rock to explore social issues, resistance and personal expression
Ashenspire, a Scottish collective that channels the intensity and energy of hardcore as they explore the contradictions and failures of contemporary capitalism
Commoners Choir, a singular, off-kilter force — a mass of voices blending the harmonic swell of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with the radical politics of Crass and The Clash (recently seen performing at dawn at the Cow & Calf as part of The Bradford Progress).
Gee Vaucher, the visionary artist and part of anarcho-punk band and collective Crass (1977-84), brings her uncompromising, politically charged aesthetic to the forefront in this rare conversation with fellow radical creative Mark Wilson (aka Mark Mob), founder of the Rockaway Park. Together, they will reflect on the evolution of anarchist art, collective action and the enduring power of creative resistance.
