Over eighteen months in the making (the idea originated during a Fat Chance reunion in Leeds in October 2022), this fundraiser is being organised in co-operation with Macmillan Cancer Support. All proceeds will be going to Macmillan and Cancer Research UK. Obviously all the bands are offering their services for free for which we are hugely grateful. There will be six bands performing on the night: Fat Chance / Bonnie Mac Band / Wingback / Bridge of Sighs / Holy Diva UK and Meanstreak, so music-wise there's pretty much something for everyone. Unless you like Dub, etc.... We all know the truism about everybody in some way and to some degree having being impacted by cancer. Amongst the band members performing there are cancer survivors, people who have been bereaved by that god awful plague, others who have been affected by it in one way or another, and people working in the front line for the NHS. About six to eight weeks ahead of the event, we will be launching a Go Fund Me campaign to raise additional funds for the cause. There's no 'target figure' to aim for in terms of how much this fundraiser hopes to generate; that's always a bit intimidating, and it can create an unrealistic sense of expectation. We would just humbly ask that anyone who is in a postition to do so might consider making a donation either via the Go Fund Me route or on the night itself.
Cheers, Jeff and Glenn
