Asylum seekers appealing decisions made by refugee courts are left without benefits or the ability to earn a living. These busking performances are taking place without permission in marginalised locations or hidden in very public places, mirroring the status of these destitute refugees."
All proceeds from the gigs will go to destitute refugee campaigns and all acts are playing free of charge.
