Kneecap

Kneecap have had a chaotic couple of years. From their Bafta-winning biopic and sellout tours, via court cases and controversy, the Belfast/Derry hip-hop trio have faced the storm and come out stronger. Departing editor Paul McNamee gets the inside story of what happened next in an exclusive interview for Big Issue. It comes with photoshoot by Toby Goodyear, and cover created by graffiti writer 10Foot.
