"..all proceeds going towards the campaign"

what campaign might this be?

Money will go into covering costs and also raising money for 10 palestinian kids coming to Galway for xmas because the Galway branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign are looking for money for this. Money from future gigs will go to other local and national campaigns.
Take a stand and enjoy a good night of music.
See you there.

Why don't you say that in your introduction then? Are you afraid that people will not come to an event that is raising money for the SWP's fucked up and childish policy on the Middle East?

I should have known from the word 'swp' in the title that there would be some sort of deception involved.

Hint: "other local and national campaigns" tells us fuck all. Are you buying Rory Herne another world tour? (If that's the case I'm in for a fiver at least)

King Moby, fyi, the money is supporting the Galway branch of the IPSC in bringing the kids over, we felt it was a good cause to give money to, k?
How this reflects on the SWP's policy on the Middle East, well you have got me there and finally.
