This event marks the 13th year that Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin have spent in prison, Echols on death row, for a crime they did not commit. Although these events took place in West Memphis in Arkansas, USA, the issue is worldwide; social discrimination. These three young men, dubbed the West Memphis Three, were convicted on the basis that they wore Metal band t-shirts, had black hair and read Steven King books!!!
The purpose of the gig on 2nd June is to raise awareness for the West Memphis Three's case and the issues at hand, and to raise funds to go towards the costs of legal defence which they cannot produce without outside help.
