A member of rap group Kneecap arrived at a surprise London performance with tape over his mouth a day after he was charged with a terror offence in the UK.

Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged over the alleged display of a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, in November last year, Britain's Metropolitan Police said on Wednesday.
