Say No, Say No was my debut recording. As a member of Greenpeace, I was shocked by the sinking of the organisation's flagship, Rainbow Warrior, in 1985, by French agents, to prevent her peaceful protest against France's ongoing detonation of nuclear bombs in the South Pacific Ocean (193 in total).
The following year, I met the world's leading anti-nuclear campaigner, Australia's Dr Helen Caldicott, when I played at a peace rally at Echo Point, Katoomba NSW. I bought Helen's book 'Nuclear Madness'. Above the title, were the words... 'What YOU Can Do!'
Those words – and the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior – inspired me to put pen to paper, fingers to strings, and a few months later I launched 'Say No, Say No', at Greenpeace, George Street, Sydney.
This is the remastered version (2023).
NOTE: I have gifted my anti-nuclear weapons songs to the anti-nuclear movement. Please feel free to share them, use them in campaigns, documentaries, school projects or in any way you can think of that will help bring about the reduction of nuclear weapons. Many small actions can make a BIG difference.
Please share this song... for your children...
Peace Nigel
