ASDA will never be the same again!
FINALLY!! The good word of Rev. Billy and his amazing anti-consumerism gospel choir, is making its way to British soil:
“Reverend Billy and the Life After Shopping Gospel Choir is touring the UK May 19 to June 1st. We will perform in Norwich, Stamford, Cambridge, Colchester, Ipswich, Exeter, Bristol, Liverpol, B’ham, London and Brighton.
We will – in each of these cities – offer our “Fabulous Worship” in a local performance venue. In most cities we will meet local activists and exorcise chain store cash registers, parade with them and speak truth to power with a foolish flourish!
