As I said before, it's tough to wade through opinions with fringe news sources. I found the above quote in several articles so give it whatever credibility you want.

I also found that vocalist Charlie Harper gained entry and performed at a weekend festival backed by session musicians. Obviously, Charlie wasn't bothered enough to cancel the performance.
If only the Guardian was fringe... It's one of the most prestigious brands in world media, unfortunately.
