The Great Escape's controversial 'ethical' stance. With Joe from Joe and The Shitboys
Q: What do you think about The Great Escape's decision to pull out of the partnership?
I got very disappointed by all of it, actually. The Great Escape people, they've been in the Faroes before. They already knew that the whaling was taking place here. It's just that as soon as this group pops up, they pull out.
