Suzanne Harrington: I volunteered backstage at Together For Palestine — here's my experience

It’s a long, hectic day of sound checks and running around and trying not to get Jamie XX mixed up with James Blake, or scream 'Oh my God, it’s Felicia!' into Guy Pearce’s face.

“I’m going to use this moment to say there are many artists I love, and that I know you love, that have hundreds of millions of followers. And they’re saying nothing in this moment.”

That’s our own Nicola Coughlan, speaking her undimmable truth to 12,500 people at the historic Together For Palestine fundraiser in London’s Wembley Arena. Musician Brian Eno, 77, has spent the past year putting this event together. Everyone is here —artists, musicians, superstars from the Arab world, Hollywood royalty, UN speakers, heroic journalists and medics from Palestine who have seen so many of their colleagues murdered, the 88-year-old Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, and — ooh ah — Eric Cantona.
