A local Reading based group involved in the organisation of the mass protests that will take place against the G8 Summit in Scotland in July.
In July, tens of thousands of people from around the world will come to Scotland to confront the G8 and protest on issues including war, poverty, migration, capitalism and ecological collapse as well as engage with local community projects. As well as general mobilisation etc they are involved with sorting out transport, accomodation space, legal/medical support etc for these people. And of course this takes cash which they dont have...For example, its estimated that securing a safe camping site for a few thousand people is going to cost about £40,000.
So, they (like others accross Europe) are trying to organise some gigs over the next couple months in or around Reading to help raise some money asap.
We will be playing a show at the RISC in Reading on June 4th to support this cause.
