Gill&#8217;s mother was in a successful 1980s band in South Africa, and the singer&#8217;s musical ability was encouraged. Channelling her political activism through her art was just as natural.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I grew up in a very politically active family,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All my grandparents were journalists, my parents&#8217; generation were freedom fighters and activists, and they all went to jail for standing up against apartheid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In South Africa, there&#8217;s no option; it is just part of every day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I moved to Australia, people would say, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to talk about politics today,&#8217; and I couldn&#8217;t understand it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what &#8216;politics&#8217; is &#8211; I thought it was part of every day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s not much else for me to write about, or at least there&#8217;s no other perspective for me to be coming from.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Synthesizing and translating what is happening into a song or a poem is such a vital part of helping a society reckon with where it&#8217;s at.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For tickets, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/elthampub.com.au\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elthampub.com.au\/music<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGER-SONGWRITER Ruby Gill will launch her new album, Some Control, as part of a national tour, with her politically rich, intimate songs set to feature at the Eltham Pub on July 11.
