Scottish hip-hop artists to play gig to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestine

SCOTTISH hip-hop artists are to perform a gig to raise money for aid for those living in Palestine. 

The gig will feature a range of artists and is to be held at Stereo in Glasgow on November 2.

The event will be held from 7pm-11pm and people attending are encouraged to “pay what they can”.

Money raised will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestine.

A confirmed list of artists for the event includes:

  • Mistah Bohze
  • Loki
  • Erin Friel
  • Jackal Trades
  • Tickle x T3xtur3
  • CCTV
  • Weird (SOS)

A poster for the event added that more acts are still to be confirmed.

It comes after the SNP’s deputy Westminster leader told Rishi Sunak at PMQs that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be the “only way” to prevent the conflict from engulfing the Middle East.

She said: “The growing calls for a ceasefire is also about calming the situation in the broader region, especially the West Bank.

“Unicef has reported over 2000 fatalities and over 5000 injured children since the conflict began due to unrelenting attacks.

“If we ignore this, we risk pouring petrol on a fire in a place that only requires a spark to ignite.

“Can the Prime Minister understand that joining calls for a ceasefire is now the best and maybe the only way to stop this conflict escalating beyond control?”
