She recalls Tiddas were performing with American group Sweet Honey in the Rock and Bob Geldof in 1993.
“He wanted us to articulate what it was that we were doing, why were we singing about these issues, and in our minds we thought we were doing the right thing presenting songs that affected us and affected our families and friends.” Bennett said this made the group angry and they went back to their room and wrote "Ignorance Is Bliss" in response.
