The Lottery Winners' Thom Rylance reflects on Kate Nash dispute and advocates for working-class musicians

Thom Rylance, frontman of The Lottery Winners, expressed regret over his recent dispute with singer Kate Nash regarding working-class representation in the arts. He acknowledged that his comments overshadowed his main point about the need for greater access for working-class musicians. Rylance clarified that he mistakenly criticized Nash's background, which she pointed out is from a free performing arts school. He now supports her efforts to highlight systemic issues in the music industry and aims to use his platform to advocate for working-class artists. The Lottery Winners are set to release their new album, "KOKO," on February 21, 2024, and will support Robbie Williams on his European tour. Rylance emphasized the importance of helping aspiring musicians and fostering a more inclusive arts environment.
