Crow at Glastonbury

Crow at Glastonbury

Bob Crow will be making an appearance at the Glastonbury festival this weekend.

The RMT general secretary will take part in a Cuba Fiesta as part of a campaign to bring an end to the US blockade of the Caribbean island.

He will join US singer-songwriter Steve Earle and Cuban campaigner Luis Marron in a discussion on how people can work together to defeat the blockade.

Mr Crow said of the blockade, which was implemented four decades ago: “Today Cuba stands out as a country that puts its people’s welfare, education and health first, despite decades of hardship imposed by the vindictive US blockade.

“Tomorrow’s Fiesta will be a great opportunity for the thousands at Glastonbury not only to discuss how we can help the people of Cuba beat the blockade, but also to sample some of Cuba’s fantastic music – and I dare anyone to resist the urge to dance.”
