‘Whose Side Are You On?’ is a powerful, uplifting musical collaboration with Emma Langford and Thick As Thieves. The song serves as both a rallying cry to revolt against the powers that seek to oppress you. and a warning against complacency.

Whose Side Are You On? was written by the The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra’s songwriter David Blake as a reaction to a certain notorious 2016 election.
Then last year, it featured as the stirring finale to the Gúna Nua Theatre Company’s 2019 award winning theatrical spectacle Bread Not Profits. The play, written by Mike Finn, commemorated The Limerick Soviet - a fascinating historical chapter when the city last found itself in lockdown. Blake wrote the music. Appropriately, the song was recorded (remotely!) during the 2020 lockdown, featuring vocals from the wonderful Emma Langford and the fabulous Thick As Thieves (Lesley-Ann Halvey and Phil Ahern), who also performed in the show as storytelling troubadors. The cast can be heard belting it out on the recording too.

Hailing from Limerick, Galway and Australia - The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra's music is a blend of folky vocal harmonies and anthemic indie with dramatic overtones.
They have released one full length studio album (Lowering the Tone), three EPs and a number of singles. They have also co-written and performed in cannibalistic musical The Unlucky Cabin Boy. They have toured extensively.
They love you.
