Paul Field, the author of 'Cargo' has become a personal friend over the last few years. He is a song writer and producer and his latest work entitled 'Cargo' focuses upon the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade 200 years ago when William Wilberforce finally succeeded in outlawing this barbaric trade.
Wilberforce spent 20 years campaigning and trying to change the mindset of a nation that saw no wrong in using black people as cargo and selling them on for gain, often to find them abused or killed.
Paul's web site is http://www.paulfield.com and you may find some of his work both challenging and inspiring. Paul recently performed CARGO at West Bridgford. He will also be performing at the Brewhouse, Burton on Trent on October 5th 2007 and again at Huthwaite on November 3rd 2007.
