Blood Red Shoes girl attacked by bouncer

Blood Red Shoes singer Laura-Mary Carter says a bouncer mistakenly thought she was underage, injuring her after a Manchester gig; the bouncer has been sacked.

Laura-Mary Carter from Blood Red Shoes got involved in an altercation with a bouncer recently, according to reports. The incident, which occurred following a gig in Manchester last week, seemingly came about because the bouncer mistakenly thought that the singer, who was carrying a bottle of wine, was underage.

Carter says in a statement: "I left the backstage area carrying a bottle of wine to go and watch Pull Tiger Tail. The next thing I knew a bouncer grabbed my neck from behind and started to drag me out of the venue. When we got to the stairs he tackled me in a Johnny Wilkinson way and I fell and hit my head on the stairs and slashed my arm open".

Rumble Strips singer Charlie Waller apparently came to her rescue, however, and the bouncer in question has since been sacked. So all's well that ends well. Apart from for that bouncer, really.
