Three award winning stars of TV and Movies are teaming up to produce the first Parliamentary Election Broadcast for Solidarity, Scotland’s Socialist Movement.

Davie McKay, Martin McCardie and Peter Mullan will join with technical and creative workers from the film world to create the broadcast for Scotland’s fastest growing political party. Solidarity have been attracting a lot of support from the Scotland’s artistic and creative community with rapper Eastborn, folk singers Alistair Hulett and David Ferrard and Saltire Prize winner and author John Aberdein, already working and campaigning with the party.

Mullan won a Cannes Award for best leading actor for his role in Ken Loach’s film “My Name is Joe” which also featured MacKay and McCardie. He is now best known as a Director, following the success of “Orphans” and “The Magdalene Sisters”. Solidarity Co-Convenor Tommy Sheridan welcomed the news:

“This is fantastic news for Solidarity. I have known Peter, Martin, and Davie for a long time and they are talented and respected artists, as well as committed socialists. To attract such highly regarded professionals to our election campaign is a real boost and the whole party are excited at the prospect.”
