For These Who Die As Cattle

Co-founder of '70s/'80s anarchist punk band Crass; activist, poet, novelist and philosopher Penny Rimbaud performs a faithful recital of his collection of Wilfred Owen's War Poetry, backed by jazz cellist Kate Short, and pianist, Liam Noble at King’s College Chapel. The unique artist released an album of his recitals via One Little Indian Records last year in memory of the centenary of Owen's death - 'What Passing Bells'.
