Would that help her maybe and be a two fingers up to the cowardly c**ts who have cancelled her gigs promotional interviews etc?

I want the money to get to Roisin not the music execs tho so not sure if this is the most effective thing to do??

If the link doesn't work, look up Bandcamp Friday.

I hadn't heard about this before. For one day a month the money goes to the artist and you can also send them a message. It was yesterday but there'll be another in October.

What is happening to the world when expressing concern for children being harmed by unnecessary medication produces a wave of hate? I know there are people ready at any moment to bully anyone who speaks out, but why do companies and ordinary people not stand up against it? If being trans is natural and innate, why does it need medical intervention?!

I've seen suggestions to buy her earlier stuff, released on different labels.

I'll maybe do the streaming as at least that way some of the cash gets to her

Worth trying if you have spare cash.

Even if you have no cash remember streaming albums gives a pay out to artist and will count towards chart rankings. Stream any of her recent songs on spotify.

Also... What about Louise distrass - different style of music (more punky) and lower profile but her recent album was probably better than any shed done before but basically been allowed to disappear without trace down to wrongthink

She ought to sue the record company. What a shower…

WorriedMutha · 01/09/2023 19:00

Not if the profits are going to the trans cause. If she dumped her record company, sued them and signed with another, I would definitely buy her next offering.

AlisonDonut · 01/09/2023 18:54

The record company are giving profits to a trans charity so not an easy choice. I don't want to be responsible for more kids being mutilated or sterilised so although I feel for Roisin, I won't be putting money their way.

Yes, yes, yes to streaming Roisin and any other ways to uncancel her. She has been treated appallingly.
