An international musician was targeted in a "deeply upsetting" racist attack in a Welsh seaside town. Morris 'Mo' Pleasure was slapped to the head and faced racial slurs as he entered an Aberystwyth nightclub.
The American multi-instrumentalist — who is Bette Midler's musical director and a former member of Earth, Wind and Fire — has lived in Aberystwyth for 18 months with his wife Kedma Macias, who is from the town. Mo said the people of Aberystwyth have been "so welcoming" and last weekend's attack is the only time he has received abuse in the area.
The 59-year-old, a keyboardist in Michael Jackson's final touring band, was out on Saturday night with Kedma's two sisters. At around 2am they entered the Pier Pressure club on Royal Pier.
