Heavy Load were a British punk rock band, described by ''The Sunday Times'' as "possibly the most genuinely punk band touring today".〔Kate Spicer, 'Fashion lovers with learning disabilities', ''The Sunday Times Style Magazine'', 01-11-2009 | http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/style/fashion/article188763.ece 〕 Its members met at Southdown Housing, a non-profit assisted-living community for people with mental health issues and learning disabilities, and were a mix of service users and staff.〔http://www.southdownhousing.org/getinvolved/Heavyload.cfm〕 The band composed the theme for the BAFTA-nominated film ''Cast Offs'' and is itself documented in the film ''Heavy Load''. The band were also the founders of the charity Stay Up Late, a campaign seeking to improve the social lives of people with learning difficulties by calling for more flexible staff hours.〔http://www.mencap.org.uk/campaigns/take-action/our-other-campaigns/stay-late〕 Stay Up Late is a national charity promoting full and active social lives for people with learning disabilities. Heavy Load split in September 2012 with a final gig in London's Trafalgar Square as part of the Paralympic festivities.〔http://www.southdownhousing.org/get-involved/heavy-load/〕 ==Band members== * Simon Barker, vocals * Jimmy Nichols, guitar and vocals * Paul Richards, bass * Mick Williams, guitar and vocals * Michael White, drums 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heavy Load (punk band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
