Artists for Ceasefire

This weeks episode is all about artists making change with their music and their platforms. Every Irish act has pulled out of SXSW in solidarity with Palestine after learning that the U.S Army are super sponsors of the event. We believe that weapons of mass destruction and music don’t go together, so we’re gonna talk about it! The lads discuss how important it is to stand up for what you believe, whilst also considering the financial, logistic and social implications for artists after making such a big decision. Alfie and Fionnán have many questions this episode: Where have all the protest singers gone? Will Israel be banned from Eurovision just like Russia? Where the f**k is Bono?
