All light up - a cry for freedom!
Saturday, June 23, 2007 
Joe Jackson (below) is not alone in recording an anti-ban protest song. The Pretty Things, founded in the Sixties and still playing and recording with their original line-up, have just released their own freedom of choice anthem, 'All Light Up'.
It's part of the band's All Light Up campaign that includes a dedicated website where you can download the track free of charge. "Play it loud and clear for all to hear, wherever you go. At home. In the car. In clubs and pubs. At work. And tell your friends to do the same!"
You can also download flyers, posters (left) and a message from the band's founder Phil May. The poster looks fantastic and the whole campaign is brilliantly designed. Manager Mark St John tells me that a video will be available on YouTube this coming week. We''ll keep you posted.

I cannae download this Simon! Tried several times.
Remember seeing the Pretty Things at High Wycombe many years ago. They were good too except Phil May fell off the stage.
Worked for me. Go to www.alllightup.com, click on 'Free download', scroll down, insert your email address, then click on the download button. It took around five minutes on a wireless laptop; download time should be much shorter on cable broadband.
Oh, the Pretty Things!!
They were wild. I had a copy of "Don't Bring Me Down."
Glad they're still going.
Ah, well it worked this time Simon, although on the last three occasions for some reason it didn't.
I've failed twice so far - something about failed to open stream and connection timed out and other stuff like that. Just keep trying i guess!! Anyone know the words? maybe hum the tune so i could pick it up and 'sing' it whenever i'm out and about!
