Support The Musicians Against Homelessness Gig In Liverpool

Musicians Against Homelessness are putting on an exciting show at Liverpool club District on Saturday October 1st.

The former Creation label boss, Alan McGee, set up Musicians Against Homelessness earlier this year to help raise funds for the homeless charity Crisis and provide gig opportunities for up-and-coming bands. Cast and The Farm will be launching Musicians Against Homelessness with a gig at the O2 Academy in Leeds on the 18th September.

Speaking about the tragedy of homelessness, McGee said: “It’s a massive modern problem and one we can’t just step over and ignore. That is why we’re supporting Crisis, to try and highlight the issue through music and try and raise awareness about the situation.

“Maybe it’s time for us to think about how this government is dismantling the safety net of the welfare system through cuts, and ask them to address the skyrocketing rents people are being asked to pay. All of us need to question the stereotypical images we have of people on the streets. Falling on hard times or having a particular run of bad luck is something that could happen to anyone.”

“And if you ain’t got any support when it hits you, you too could find yourself one rung of the ladder away from being homeless and living on the streets.”

So, for a great night out and to support a worthy cause, get your tickets – only a fiver! – from District, 61 Jordan Street, Liverpool L1 0BW, or phone 07812 141936.
