Irish folk music band The Mary Wallopers have said they “reject” the “misleading” statements issued by Victorious Festival organisers claiming the band used a “discriminatory” chant during their set.

The band were performing at the Victorious Festival in Portsmouth on Friday when they claimed that they were “cut off” for displaying a Palestinian flag on stage.
