After the Success of Saturday’s AntiNazi Demos there will be a Fundraiser for ACE in the upstairs of the Forest Cafe on Wed 24th From 10pm featuring :-
Also before that from 9pm “Talk to Frank” will be on Downstairs in the Cafe with the Fantastic Fabulous Freeloadin Frank and the Bucking Fastards.
With Contributions from Wise L Leathermonk and The Weather Underground.
Apparently last week’s fundraising gig was a massive success. Bannermans was hoaching, the walls were dripping with sweat and every single raffle ticket was sold (when has that ever happened?). A quick count says that the night raised nearly £1000 to be split between ACE and solidarity funds for the autonomous Zapatista communities of Southern Mexico (read about the clinic they built here).
Grassroots fundraising, making a difference without subjecting you to washed-comedians with expense accounts bigger than your monthly pay packet. Why not set up a Standing Order to these groups and get the warm fuzzy feeling every month:
RAGE, the world’s premiere (only?) Rage Against the Machine tribute band are headlining a benefit gig at Bannermans this Thursday.
The proceeds will be split between ACE and the health clinic in Chiapas, Southern Mexico which the Edinburgh Chiapas Solidarity Group helped to build.
Also playing are Certain Death and Tickle.
