Irish bands pull out of Manchester's Radar Festival in solidarity with Bob Vylan
TWO Irish bands have pulled out of Radar Festival in Manchester in solidarity with Bob Vylan after the controversy over the latter's Glastonbury set. The Scratch and Hero in Error were both due to perform today at the festival at Victoria Warehouse in Trafford Park. However, while the bands have now backed out, both expressed their sympathy for the organisers of the festival and the situation they were placed in. Radar co-organiser Catherine Jackson-Smith revealed this week that she had received a death threat in the wake of Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set. The punk duo were criticised after singer Bobby Vylan chanted 'Death to the IDF' at the Worthy Farm festival last Saturday in solidarity with the tens of thousands of people killed in Gaza. The band were subsequently dropped from Radar Festival, as well as Kave Festival in France and from a venue in Germany where they were due to open for American band Gogol Bordello. They also had their US visas cancelled, with State Department Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau saying 'foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country'. 'Shadowy government influence' Following the decision to drop Bob Vylan from Radar's Saturday line-up, Dublin band The Scratch revealed they had pulled out of their Sunday slot at the event. "The censorship and deplatforming of artists speaking out against the ongoing genocide in Gaza is greasy, dangerous and must be challenged," the Choice Music Prize nominees said in a statement. "To be clear, this decision is not a criticism of Radar Festival. "We understand it was an incredibly difficult and complex situation. "This is about showing solidarity with Bob Vylan and any artists who may face similar treatment in the future. "Shadowy government influence and wealthy lobbying groups should not be allowed to dictate who is given a platform and what can he said on it. "This situation will only worsen unless we, as artists, support one another and take action. "Get Netanyahu to the ICJ. "Up Bob Vylan. Free Palestine." Bobby Vylan of Bob Vylan pictured yesterday at Finsbury Park in London, where Irish band Fontaines D.C. were being supported by Kneecap (Image: Tabatha Fireman / Dave Benett / Getty Images) Echoing those words, fellow Dublin band Hero In Error posted: "After speaking with Radar's organisers, it's clear they're facing the same pressures that many de-platformed artists are currently experiencing. "They are good people and it's evident they stand for progressive ideals. "Both they and the artists being targeted are caught in a wider effort to deflect attention from the reality of what's happening. "We respect the work Radar has done, but we believe that stepping back from this year's event in the right decision at this time." Brighton-based band GENN also pulled out of the festival for their 'safety and sanity'. "Pressure needs to be placed on those who are instigating the censorship of a genocide happening in real time," they added. 'We didn't want to pull them' Speaking to the 2 Promoters, 1 Pod podcast, Ms Jackson-Smith said she was told that if the organisers kept Bob Vylan on the bill, the three-day festival would not be permitted to go ahead on Saturday. She said she had to take into consideration that 41 other acts were due to play at the festival and both artists and fans had already spent significant money and travelled long distances to attend. "We didn't want to pull them, it was out of our hands," she said, adding: "I cannot express clearly enough that I wanted Bob Vylan to perform at our festival." Ms Jackson-Smith added that she and her co-organisers considered trying to draft in Kneecap to replace Bob Vylan, or another act that had previously expressed solidarity for the Belfast band. Speaking to the podcast, she said Radar Festival became the focus of attention after it emerged it was the next event Bob Vylan were due to play following Glastonbury. She said she had received a barrage of emails following last Saturday's events, as well as a threatening phone call, saying 'a bunch of absolutely vile things'. She added: "It finished with, 'We know who you are, we know what you look like, we know where you're going to be — do you feel safe? Watch your back.'"

Richard Harris 'homecoming' exhibition opens in Co. Limerick
A NEW exhibition celebrating the life and legacy of Irish actor Richard Harris has opened in his native Co. Limerick. 'From Dickie to Richard — Richard Harris: Role of a Lifetime' offers a unique glimpse inside the life of the award-winning actor and global star, who never lost his deep connection to his hometown. Described as a 'homecoming' for the late actor, who passed away in 2002, the exhibition features never-before-seen materials from his personal archive. Opening at the Hunt Museum on Friday, it draws on the Richard Harris Archive, which was donated by the actor's family to University College Cork in 2022. "This exhibition is a homecoming for Richard," said Teresa Crowley, the museum's CEO. "It not only honours his extraordinary career but celebrates his Limerick, Munster and Irish roots, offering the public a unique opportunity to explore his artistic and sporting world in the city where his journey began." 'Stunning tribute' Harris was twice nominated for an Oscar during a stellar career, first for 1963's This Sporting Life and again for the 1990 drama, The Field. He also had memorable roles in Camelot (1967), A Man Called Horse (1970), The Wild Geese (1978) and Unforgiven (1992). As well as critical acclaim, he also starred in several box office hits right up to his passing, including Ridley Scott's epic Gladiator (2000) and the first two Harry Potter films, in which he played Professor Dumbledore. The new exhibition is the first public display of items from Harris' personal collection, including annotated film and theatre scripts, letters, photographs, poetry, music recordings and memorabilia. Highlights include the original crown from Camelot, Harris' cherished Munster Rugby jersey and intimate 8mm home footage filmed in Limerick. Together, these pieces tell the story of an artist who defied convention across theatre, writing and music and whose influence continues to resonate. "The exhibition comprises carefully selected artefacts from the larger archive now housed, protected, preserved and researched at University College Cork for generations to come," said UCC President Professor John O'Halloran. "We were keen that the first public exhibition of the Richard Harris Archives occurred in Limerick and this collaboration with the Hunt Museum has produced a stunning tribute to one of the most iconic film actors of the late twentieth century." 'Creative fire' Harris' children Jared, Jamie and Damien attended the official opening of the exhibition during a special mayoral reception at the museum. Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, who also previously served as Chair of the museum, presented an official mayoral scroll to the family, posthumously commemorating Harris' contributions to Limerick's story, the arts, the cultural legacy of Ireland and to the global stage. "Richard Harris showed the world that someone from Limerick could rise from local roots to global stages without ever compromising his authenticity," said Mayor Moran. "His story is a reminder of the creative fire that lives in Limerick, in its storytellers, its actors, its musicians and its dreamers. "The characters he brought to life for us all will live with us forever." The exhibition runs from Tuesday to Sunday until November 16, 2025. There is a general admission fee of €12.50 for adults, while tickets for students and those over 65 are €10 and children under 16 go free. You can book tickets by clicking here.

I work in brothel where husbands stop by for lunch quickies and the women make £40k fulfilling bizarre sexual fetishes
TUCKING into her cheese sandwich, Catherine de Noire keeps an eye on the clock. It's just gone midday and she's expecting the lunch time rush at any moment - with hoards of hungry men due to rush through the door. Advertisement 6 Catherine de Noire works as a manager in a legal brothel Credit: SUPPLIED 6 She says that she wants to dispel the taboos around sex workers Credit: Instagram/ catherine_de_noire 6 She says that aside from the red lights outside the interior looked 'surprisingly normal'. Pictured: Stock image of a brothel in the red light district of Amsterdam Credit: Crispin Rodwell - The Sun Dublin But Catherine doesn't work in a deli or a local boozer - her office is a 'Surprisingly, the earliest 'rush hour' at the brothel is 12pm to 1pm, when men pop in on their lunch-breaks from work,' she tells Sun Club. Advertisement 'The next is between 3pm and 5pm, giving them time to get home without raising suspicion.' Catherine, 31, had been studying for an undergrad in 'While I loved it, I was getting frustrated with its attitude to 'Reading psychology books, so much of sex was described as 'deviant'. 'As a fan of Advertisement One day while researching an essay Catherine came across an article that grabbed her attention called Psychologist in a Whorehouse: They Call Me Pimp, but I Protect Women. 'I lived in a country in Europe outside the UK where sex work was legal,' Catherine says. 'The article was written by a manager at a brothel who had a background in psychology. Watch the moment Strictly champ Stacey Dooley sleeps at a BROTHEL in explicit new TV series - and admits she 'loves it' 'He emphasised the importance of respecting and protecting sex-workers. 'The girls were independent contractors, who rented space from the brothel in exchange for a flat rate. Advertisement 'It sounded like my dream job.' Catherine found an email address for the same brothel and got in touch to ask if they had any vacancies. To her delight she was called for an interview. 'Beforehand, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous,' she admits. 'Not only did I not have any experience in the adult industry, I also had no managerial experience. Advertisement 'I had no idea what to expect of the office, I was half expecting it to all be leather, velvet and fake fur.' 6 Catherine says that while some people confuse her for a pimp, her job is to protect the workers Credit: Supplied 6 It was during her psychology degree that she became disillusioned with the way sex was viewed Credit: Supplied 'But while the outside of the building was all done up with red lights, the interior was surprisingly normal.' The manager, who was the author of the article she'd read, gave Catherine a tour of the HR and IT department Advertisement 'We had a fascinating chat,' she explains. 'He told me that women are often at an advantage in brothel management because they don't try to control the workers.' The following week Catherine started working at the brothel as a manager. 'I'd be working nighttime shifts, from 7pm to 6am, but I quickly learned that the brothel wasn't just busy in the evenings,' she says. Catherine's main responsibilities involved answering emails, overseeing bartenders, IT and marketing as well as recruiting and onboarding the girls themselves and she quickly discovered that stereotypes did not apply. Advertisement 'In the media, sex workers were often represented as desperate or addicted, but this wasn't my experience,' she says. 'Some of the girls were earning up to £40,000 a month, and many planned on working for just a few years to set themselves up for the rest of their lives. 'Yet, plenty of them were from overseas, and needed local advice or help reading over rental contracts.' It was a few months into her job that Catherine decided to come clean about her work to her family. 'Dad's a nuclear physicist, and his response was typically calm, understanding and matter of fact,' she says. Advertisement 'But Mum was horrified, she thought that I was a pimp! 'But I explained I wasn't exploiting the girls but rather looking after them and the more I explained, the more she came to accept it. 'Dad even came into the office with me one day to see the set-up. 'From then on, I never lied when someone asked me what I did.' Protecting the workers was of the utmost importance to the brothel and was a large part of Catherine's job. Advertisement 'We had panic buttons in all the rooms and made sure they knew the workers had the right to say no to any request,' she explains. 'While some of the girls did just BDSM work, others exclusively worked with lesbians – it was entirely up to them to decide.' While clients were well behaved on the whole, Catherine says that they did have to remove them occasionally. On another occasion I recognised a familiar face in the corridor – my dentist Catherine de Noire 'Sometimes we'd have to call security to turf them out at 5am when they didn't want to make the journey home,' she says. Intriguingly, one of the most surprising things that Catherine discovered was that plenty of men weren't even looking for sex. Advertisement 'Sometimes they were only after companionship,' she explains. 'One guy paid one of the girls £4,500 just to drive to a graveyard with him and share a cigarette.' But it wasn't all quite so straight-laced. 'One man turned up in a head-to-toe polar bear suit for a role play session,' Catherine says. 'I had to explain to him that he would have to remove the head while he was in reception for security reasons. Advertisement 'Another man turned up dressed as a plumber and spent the whole booking fixing one of the blocked loos.' Working in the brothel required the utmost discretion from Catherine who came across some pretty awkward scenarios. 'One of our girls came in to work every Monday, while her husband visited as a client every Friday,,' she says. 'Neither of them knew about the other and it wasn't my place to tell them. 'On another occasion I recognised a familiar face in the corridor – my dentist. Advertisement 'I realised where he'd been while I had been trying to get an appointment, fortunately, he didn't recognise me. 'His office was filled with family portraits of him with his wife and kids, and I thought he might have been a bit embarrassed.' While the workers of the brothel were discreet, occasionally angry wives and girlfriends would get wind of their partners' hobbies. 'Plenty would buy a ticket and storm through looking for their boyfriend or husband,' Catherine explains. Are brothels legal in the UK? There has been a growing debate in the UK about whether brothels should be legalised, following the emergence of pop-up brothels across the country. These temporary establishments, often set up in residential areas, have sparked concerns among local communities and law enforcement agencies. The current legal framework in the UK criminalises the operation of brothels, but individual sex work is permitted. This has led to a complex and often problematic situation for those involved in the industry. Advocates for legalising brothels argue that regulation could improve safety and working conditions for sex workers. By bringing the industry out of the shadows, they believe that sex workers would have better access to health services and legal protection, reducing the risks of exploitation and violence. Furthermore, regulated brothels could be subject to health and safety standards, ensuring a safer environment for both workers and clients. On the other hand, opponents of legalisation worry that it could lead to an increase in human trafficking and exploitation. They argue that normalising the sex industry might encourage more people to become involved in it, both as workers and clients. Additionally, there are concerns about the impact on local communities, with fears that legalised brothels could lead to an increase in crime and antisocial behaviour in residential areas. As the debate continues, it is clear that there are no easy answers. Balancing the rights and safety of sex workers with the concerns of local communities and broader societal impacts remains a complex challenge. Policymakers will need to carefully consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of legalising brothels in the UK, taking into account the experiences of other countries that have taken similar steps. 'When arguments did break out, we'd gently encourage them to take it outside or to a private room.' Advertisement While most expressed a healthy interest in her job, Catherine explains that her job could pose a problem when it came to dating. 'I noticed quite a few men seemed to be bothered by my job,' she says. 'One guy told me my job was fascinating but he'd never let his girlfriend do it. 'It wasn't a problem, I was happy to give him the boot.' Catherine says that working in the brothel definitely changed her view of marriage and monogamy. Advertisement 'I met plenty of men who'd tell me they loved their wives, they just weren't having sex anymore,' she adds. 'I've had men tell me that the brothel has saved their marriage.' Fascinated by everything she was learning, Catherine started posting about her experiences online. 'There was such stigma around the topic and I wanted to encourage a conversation and debunk stereotypes of the industry,' she says. 'People loved my videos and I soon amassed 400,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok. Advertisement I've had men tell me that the brothel has saved their marriage Catherine de Noire 'I even started an Only Fans account where I could tell my wildest stories.' But while she received plenty of positive attention, she also endured some backlash. 'My inbox and comment sections were filled with death and rape threats against me, my family, and my potential future children,' she says. 'It was shocking and I had to be careful with my mental health.' Eight years into her job, Catherine realised it was time to take a step back. Advertisement 'When I first started the job at 22, the night shifts didn't really bother me,' she says. 'But by the time I hit 30, the 3am to 6am stretch started getting much harder. 'Especially as I was simultaneously studying for a PHD in organisational psychology. 'Now, I've been working in this role for nine years, and I'm starting to think about my next steps. 'I definitely want to stay in the industry, but perhaps move across to a luxury swingers club or something similar. Advertisement 'Ultimately, my work in a brothel has taught me one important lesson.
