The gig is headlined by Jim Bob, who will be playing Jim's Super Stereoworld, James Robert Morrison (that's his proper name you know) and Carter USM songs on his "shitty acoustic guitar". This follows on from his sold-out, three-month residency at the Hope & Anchor in Islington.
Special guests are Jake Shillingford (Exileinside, ex-My Life Story frontman), Louis Elliot (Rialto), and Satellite (singer/songwriter Jonny Green). Special guest DJs will play upstairs. Tickets are £10 with money going to charity.
It says here in this press release thing that: "'Off The Streets and into Work' are the largest co-ordinated guidance, training and employment programme for the homeless in Europe. In their first four years they put over 800 homeless people into jobs and helped over 1,000 access vocational training or further education." So that's money well spent.
The charity has a website here: www.osw.org.uk
