(Classic Rock) A UK rock band say they were blocked from playing a charity show after a priest saw their picture on a poster. Seventh Son from Barnsley were hoping to raise funds for their friend, speedway racer Ricky Ashworth, who was left in a coma following a crash.

But the veteran outfit, formed in 1980, were told they couldn't appear at the city's Polish Catholic Centre because boss Father Tomasz Wojick thought their performance might be anti-Catholic.

But frontman Bri Shaughnessy says: "For starters I'm a Catholic myself, so we don't play any stuff like that. But they never even asked us anyway. He made a judgment just on how we look." Read more here.
