+ speakers from local anti deportation campaigns
Four of the North West’s brightest upcoming musical talents will be uniting in support of the region’s refugees at a special fundraising benefit concert in Liverpool next month.
Liverpool’s impressive ‘art popsters’ Santa Carla, indie sensations Fayze Two, acoustic singer songwriter Alun Parry, and Manchester’s Silent Partners line up in a bid to raise much needed funds for the National Coalition of Anti Deportation Campaigns.
The organisation, which offers free advice and campaigning support to people facing deportation, is facing a £20,000 deficit, which it needs to meet to survive.
The benefit will also be linking in to a specific local anti deportation campaign, where a Merseyside resident is currently under threat of deportation.
Local radical songwriter Alun Parry, who is organising the event said: “The line-up promises a great night for music fans, and a way to show support for people facing the horrendous prospect of deportation.”
The benefit gig takes place at Liverpool’s well-known music venue The Magnet in Hardman Street, on Thursday 20th July 2006. Doors open at 8pm. Entry is £5 waged, £4 unwaged, and free for asylum seekers.
Further details about NCADC:
"NCADC is a unique national organisation specifically helping those subject to arbitrary targets on deportations and have helped establish a number of Liverpool based anti-deportation campaigns. We are "last resort" for many who are disbelieved, dejected and destitute. If we go, many otherwise "invisible" will have no one to turn to." – Emma Ginn, NCADC North West Coordinator.
Further details about the acts:
Santa Carla are one of Liverpool’s most successful bands. Their latest EP Earworms mixes arresting melodies, zen-like vocal harmonies and some decidedly twisted lyrics.
Fayze Two are due for 3 days in the recording studio after finishing runners up in a recent Battle of the Bands contest, beating off competition from 150 rival bands.
Alun Parry delivers foot stomping gritty acoustic anthems with lyrics that are insightful and hard hitting. He is also the resident host of the successful Second Tuesday unsigned event in the city.
Silent Partners are one of Manchester’s most popular bands, recently playing to 10,000 people at the Get Loaded Festival in London. Their forerunner (Northside) was signed to the famous Factory Records label.
