Add to your event list
Coming together for a special one-off evening of music, these artists are raising funds to support a mutual friend and crew member. Chances are if you have seen one of these bands over the last 20 years then Ant was there at the side of the stage helping to run the show. Now this show is for him.
Appearing:
Levellers
Brighton's seminal folk-rock outfit formed by Mark Chadwick and Jeremy Cunningham in the late 80s who take their name from the 17th century radical democracy movement. Over the years they've become a staple on festival bills with their crowd pleasing blend of fiddles, guitars and biting political lyrics. Their 14 top 40 singles include the perennial anthems 'One Way', 'Hope Street' and 'What A Beautiful Day', which inspired the name for their annual curated music festival; 'Beautiful Days'.

Penetration
Formed in '76, Durham band Penetration make uncompromising, aggressive punk. Splitting in 1980, they reformed in 2001 and have been playing periodically ever since. The band have undergone a few member changes over the years, with the current line-up being Robert Blamire, John Maher (ex-Buzzcocks), Paul Harvey and Steve Wallace. As always, they remain fronted by the powerful vocals of Pauline Murray, a singer who has drawn inevitable comparisons with Patti Smith and Siouxsie Sioux.
