Rock for Rights

 

 

What do you usually do on Tuesday nights, bit of ironing? Watch telly? Or you could be out seeing four great bands for a mere £4 in advance.

 We’ve got Wiarwan, the only band who can rage atmospherically, followed by upbeat melancholia from Rich Mc Mahon. (Who, incidentally, has had a cartoon done by Rolf Harris – we had to share.)

 Then get your mosh boots on for They Came With Weapons, tipped ‘ones to watch’ by Kerrang radio. And as if all that that wasn’t enough excitement for one evening we end with Devoka, the Italian rockers, still steaming from their second album launch, who have flown over just for your delectation. Yes, it is a musical tart’s paradise. Who needs genre labels? Labelling music sucks.

 How have we got such variety and such talent to come together for one night and one night only? Because they all support human rights and want justice for the victims of government-sponsored rape in Mexico and the DRC. Get your biros out for some Amnesty International postcard action.

 Nowhere else are you going to hear such great music at such a low price with the additional feel-good factor of having done your bit for human rights. It’s a win-win situation.

 If you support human rights and love to party, grab as many mates as possible and come down on the 20^th October, you might even change the world. (Sandals and beards not compulsory.)
