Giles Terera says his group was racially profiled and denied entry into the Ain’t Nothin’ But Blues Bar in central London.

The actor says the incident at the Soho bar left him and his fellow actors feeling"devastated, confused and upset."

"I just took a group of 8 Black actors who i’m directing in a play about American blues musicians to Aint Nothin But The Blues bar in soho. We were racially profiled and refused entry as 10 white punters were allowed in past us unchecked. WTF," Terera"This group of talented, and hard working actors was left devastated, confused and upset while the manager said 'I dont care who you are or what you are.

The statement continued, "It is a shame they then have to try and use the 'race' card to intimidate the staff. Just because the next group happened to be white, they were a different age group, so were served. We now have an unfair reputation which we cannot properly respond to. We have regular customers, and staff, who are black. It makes no difference to us what colour people are.
