Roy Jones is a former musician who was part of the Post Punk scene in London in the late 70’s and early 80s with his band Red Beat.
During this time he was active in the movement to stop Cruise Missiles with nuclear warheads being deployed in Western Europe.
He later toured the States in 1987 as a keyboard player with the Howard Jones band.
In the early 90s he was a founder member and fund raiser for the peace group PARC – Pembrokeshire Against the Radar Campaign who successfully fought US military plans to build a massive Over the Horizon Radar installation in a similar location to Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC), a proposal originating from President Trump’s US Space Force now in planning.
A long standing Buddhist and member of the lay Buddhist group SGI, Roy has continued to use his music to fight against nuclear weapons as a supporter of the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).
Global Network (GN) coordinator Bruce Gagnon comments following Roy's excellent presentation. Bruce also invites the public to register to participate in the GN's 33rd annual Zoom conference on September 13/14 (depending on where you live).
