The year is 1985, and amidst the vibrant energy of the 80s, two influential politicians stand shoulder-to-shoulder with renowned musicians who shared their pro-Labour ideals.

This unique collaboration between politicians and musicians sought to inspire a new generation to embrace progressive values.
