Derek will be ranting about the ‘good old days’ when Liverpool was prepared to stand up and be counted, asking – are the lessons of the 80’s still relevant today? Is Liverpool still a city of radicals?

Festival Director, Madeline Heneghan, says,‘This year’s celebration of Liverpool’s radical history would not be complete with revisiting the Militant era. We felt it was appropriate to invite Derek, who was at the centre of Liverpool’s council battles with central government, to the festival, to provoke debate and discussion about what happened in Liverpool in the 1980’s’.
