Over the weekend of 2nd/3rd/4th October 2015 there will be a series of gigs around the UK, with the purpose of uniting in the face of the recently elected Conservative government and their policies. The gigs are to show solidarity and offer practical help to those affected by austerity policies; many are supporting local foodbanks and other projects designed to get help directly to people in need. There has been a huge response since the idea for the weekend was first put out on social media just a few days ago, with many gigs organised already around the UK. It's going to be massive! There is a WE SHALL OVERCOME Facebook group which says if you are a singer, a band, a venue, a promoter or indeed anyone willing to pitch in and get involved then please do.
