'... earlier in the month, a leak exposed a letter sent to the organisers of Glastonbury in which a number of music industry heavyweights ask the festival to “question the wisdom of continuing to have [Kneecap] on the lineup”. The letter was signed by top agents from major live music agencies.'
The letter seems to have gone down the memory hole?

in reply to slackbastard • • •I wrote something for Overland about it back in 2017:
'In 2014, the 25 July was nominated as ‘International Day of Solidarity with Jock Palfreeman’. In 2015, thanks largely to the efforts of New York City Antifa, this became an ‘International Day of Solidarity with Antifascist Prisoners’, which in 2017 is publicising Jock’s case as well as those of antifascist prisoners in Belarus, Russia and Sweden.'
PS. Jock was released from prison in Bulgaria a few years ago.
