British Folk Artist Walks Out Concert Over Reported JD Vance Attendance

British folk-rocker Dolly Mavies (real name Molly Davies) walked out of her own concert in Daylesford, England, after noticing heightened security and learning that U.S. Vice President JD Vance was expected to be present. Although Vance was vacationing in the Cotswolds nearby, sources confirmed he did not attend the event, despite local reports suggesting otherwise. Mavies explained that she and her band chose to leave because they did not want to perform for Vance, prioritizing their morals over payment. The incident sparked global attention and widespread support, especially from American fans who felt their concerns were acknowledged. Mavies denied accusations that the walkout was a publicity stunt, emphasizing that it was a peaceful protest motivated by principle. The vice president's visit to the Cotswolds also caused local disruption, drawing criticism from residents and public figures like Jeremy Clarkson.
