6 Music Classic Concert

Chris Hawkins introduces The Levellers recorded at the Sheffield Arena in 1995 performing many of their biggest hits, including Hope Street, One Way, and The Liberty Song. The Levellers, a five piece from Brighton, take their name and much of their ideology from a radical section of Oliver Cromwell's Civil War followers. Their music is of a unique and raucous Celtic punk variety, brimming with energy and social statements. This concert was recorded by the BBC at the Sheffield Arena on 18 December 1995.
