British Bands To Play Charity Concerts

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:30:00 +0000

British bands are celebrating the approaching spring and summer by playing charity concerts in the UK.

To benefit cancer charity No Surrender, Maximo Park will play a gig at the Newcastle College Performance Academy tonight, March 24, and the band will also sign 250 vinyl copies of new song ‘Wraithlike’ for fans who donate a minimum of £3 to the charity.

No Surrender is a web-based forum for young adult cancer sufferers that provides a place where they can find people of their own generation who understand exactly what they are going through. The Trust was set up by Jason Boas – a friend of Maximo Park – in 2007, who at only 33 was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has since raised an overwhelming £150,000. He recently passed away, following organizing a charity auction that featured New Kids On The Block. More information about No Surrender can be found here.
