We shall Overcome: London Loud Women!
October 3, 2015 @ 17:00 - 22:00
Silver Bullet, 5 Station Place, Finsbury Park, N4 2DH London, United Kingdom
A night of top drawer pop/punk and poetry from some of London’s leading female-lead bands and performers.
Part of the We Shall Overcome weekend of events taking place all over the country (and beyond!) in solidarity with all those at the sharp end of the austerity cuts.
All gig-goers to bring donations to our chosen charity, Women’s Aid, and there will be cake sales and, of course, A RAFFLE!
