Red Cable Sunday is the music project of musician and campaigner Denis Fernando
Denis draws on his experience as an activist, which included being the NUS Black Students Officer, a National Executive member position. He also performed as a drummer in the opening ceremony of the olympics in 2012 and was an activist with occupy London. Red Cable Sunday’s debut single Prelude to the Nocturne, (2010) a cinematic piece of electronica tinged piano music takes its themes of light and dark from the philosophy of Malcolm X. For an unsigned DIY release, it travelled far and wide featuring on Radio 2 (Alan Titchmarsh) and Radio 3 (Late Junction) and RTE Lyric, as well as national music channels and media including Scotland's The Sunday Post, and led to performances at the Spitalfields Festival and the City Showcase performance at the 02 which led to big breaks for Amy Winehouse and Keane.
