This is terrible and shameful. A young teenager has been saving up for over a year to travel from Brazil to the UK to see her favourite band
Level 42. She had tickets for the York gig 15th and Newcastle gig this Friday 17th.
Upon arrival at Heathrow she was pounced upon by customs who didn't believe she had travelled all that way just to see a band
so they put her in Colnbroke detention centre and sent her back on the next available flight.
Phil Gould, Mike Lindup, Level 42's management and lots of Facebook L42 followers tried to get the authorities to reverse their decision
but to no avail. She has now arrived back home very upset and tired after her ordeal.
If you want to follow her plight and show some support you can visit the ULIMATE LEVEL 42 facebook page.
We are trying to arrange for her to get back over here or Europe to fulfil her dream of seeing her favourite band.
Any ideas would be welcome. A ticket for her to see them in Italy has already been donated by a kind follower.
Her name is Zani Cruz.
