Glasgow hospitality workers organise sell-out gig for Palestine
Glasgow Palestine gig

HUNDREDS of people have gathered at a solidarity event in Glasgow’s East End and raised more than £10,000 in aid of the Palestinian people.

Unite Hospitality members put their expertise to work on Monday night, hosting a benefit gig at St Luke’s, a venue on the edge of the city’s Barras market, for Islamic Relief’s humanitarian work in Palestine.

Part of the union’s Serve Solidarity campaign, set up in response to Palestinian unions’ call for worldwide solidarity action, the gig had a fundraising target of £7,000, which was shattered as more than 600 tickets were sold, filling the venue to capacity.
