    Anti-Apartheid Benefit

    4 September 1985 at 
    Southbank Centre (29)

    Shout: Voices Against Censorship

    14 January 1989 at

    Audience member Paul Steeples, taken from www.juliemyers.org.uk: I remember going to an event protesting about censorship, mainly to see Tony Benn performing with Test Department (which he did, and it was good).
