DJ Provai says “Fifteen grand wouldn’t pay for the bar tab in America'
Belfast rap group Kneecap has secured High Court permission to challenge the UK Government’s decision to block them from receiving a £15,000 funding award.
In December last year Kneecap sought funding for a Music Export Growth Scheme grant allocated to support the expansion of UK-registered artists in global markets. Judicial review proceedings were issued after UK Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch decided to refuse the funding. Kneecap claimed that a provocative poster for their 2019 “Farewell to the Union” tour had angered the Conservative Party.
Papers issued as part of the case claim her decision discriminates against Kneecap on grounds of religious belief or political opinion, as well as racial grounds of nationality and ethnic origin.
