00:00 Back in the spring, Jan Smigmotor`s swing band played at New York`s famous Carnegie Hall.
00:06 Now the Czech band are playing deep underground in a former Soviet nuclear warhead depot called
00:11 Havel 51, which has been converted into the Atom Museum.
00:15 The acoustics here in the Atom Museum is outstanding. We play great here. I like the idea of making
00:22 jazz music from the atom ammunition in the whole world.
00:26 It`s hidden deep inside a forest where during the Cold War no Czechoslovak citizen was allowed
00:32 to enter.
00:33 This museum was established to warn the future generation about what our grandfathers and
00:42 fathers have gone through, and to prevent it from happening again.
00:45 The concerts are trying to highlight the danger of nuclear weapons, particularly as there
00:50 is another major war being fought in Europe.
00:52 Today`s message from the former Soviet nuclear warhead is clear. Make Art Not War. Grzys Kancel, Euronews, Brtishelesi.
