Not in Our Name CD [1] [2] is a pro-peace album in support of the victims of the Iraq War featuring jazz, folk and classical music, songs and poetry. It arose from the Facebook group "Impeach Tony Blair" and was recorded in October 2015 in London and Manchester.

Contents

The CD includes a eulogy by Craig Brierley whose brother was killed in Iraq in 2003. Their father, Peter Brierley, confronted Tony Blair, refusing to shake his hand, and is a staunch anti-war campaigner and seeker of answers to the "weapons of mass destruction" question. [3] He was one of the driving influences in creating the CD.

Peter Brierley was interviewed about the CD on Good Morning on ITV on 30 October 2015.
