Whizz-kidz charity announces fundraising gig
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 30 October 2009
UK wheelchair mobility charity Whizz-Kidz has announced a fundraising gig, which will take place in London next month. Currently on the bill for Whizz-Fest are Strangefruit, featuring former Babyshambles members (and sons of Only Ones frontman Peter Perrett) Jamie and Peter Perrett, former Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things drummer Gary Powell’s new project, The Invasion Of…, and newish band The Guilty Ones.
Whizz-Kidz’s Regional Fundraising Manager Ashley Westpfel told CMU: “This will be a top night. This is a first for us, but given the talent involved – from the artists and our supporters who have donated their time and dedication to bringing this together – there is no reason we can’t put more on. All funds raised will go to supporting young people throughout the UK to get their independence and mobility”.
Tickets cost £10 in advance, or £12 on the door, and it all takes place at The Arches in Southwark on 12 Nov. Click here for the flyer: tinyurl.com/WhizzFest.
