BELFAST rap trio Kneecap has secured victory in a discrimination case against the British government, after it withdrew a grant over the group’s political views.
Kneecap applied for a grant from the Music Export Growth Scheme last year, which was approved by the British Phonographic Industry.
But in February, then business secretary Kemi Badenoch blocked the funding.
