T.H.A.N.K.S!

The day after each gig I always end up saying “That was the best one yet!” but come on, what else can I say?!  We had a great turn out on Sunday, the bands were just perfect; a lovely opener by Patrick Craig, playing well beyond his years, fantastic soulful acoustic music.  I knew Finnmark! were great but live they were something else, lovely, soaring indie-pop, I can’t wait to pick up the album when it comes out this week.  They’re also playing in Leeds next week with The Coopers so be sure to head on over.  Then Sonic The Comic, who knew such fun could come from two people, a guitar and an iPhone (and whatever that hi-tech watch was doing!).

Kate also did a great job with the Children’s Clothing swap and three huge boxes of clothes are now winging their way over to PAFRAS.  We’re going to continue this at all future gigs as well as becoming a drop off point for the Leeds North Foodbank so head on over to the new pages on this site for more information on both of those.

So onwards and upwards, here’s to our next gig (our second Birthday!).  We might even have a bigger announcement about that coming soon, so make sure you ‘like’ us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (or just keep checking back here!).

Children’s Clothing Bank at Youth Anthems

In an effort to not get lost in apathy after today’s election result we’re linking up with members of the Fierce Babe Network to do a bit more for our community.

We’re aware that people are really struggling with the basics right now, so we will be hosting a Children’s Clothing Bank at all future gigs (starting this Sunday!).

This means that if you have any (clean/non-damaged) children’s clothes from new-born onwards that you no longer have a need for and would like them to go to people who might be in need of them then please bring them to any of our gigs.

We will then have boxes (separated by Children’s ages) where we will place the clothes so that you can come along and take them away.

So please come along and donate and please come along and take.

If you would like to come to this but can’t afford the entry then just mention that you’re here to look at the clothes and that will be fine, no judgements or further questions.
