Thank you for your great site, which was flagged up on the Blood & Fire discussion board earlier today.<\/p>\n

I have very much enjoyed reading the lectures there by David Rodigan and Dennis Bovell – it is great to see reggae discussed in such a passionate and informed manner from people who are such luminaries in the UK.<\/p>\n

I was however extremely disturbed when I noticed a hyperlink on this page of the Bovell lecture:
\nhttp:\/\/www.redbullmusicacademy.com\/LECTURES.95.0.html?act_session=153<\/a> which goes straight to the homepage of the neo-nazi National Front.<\/p>\n

I do not think this is in keeping with the Red Bull Music Academy’s aims and I am sure that Dennis Bovell would not approve.<\/p>\n

I am writing to you to request that you remove the link because I don’t think a platform should be given to the NF by your organisation. Indeed, I don’t think you providing their website with traffic does you any favours whatsoever.<\/p>\n

It would be helpful if you could confirm you have received this email and let me know your thoughts on this matter. I will look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n
