Food for thought: party for a very good cause this weekend

Despite the fact that Manchester overwhelmingly voted red last week, the blues (no, not those blues) are back running things in Westminster this week. Rather than sit around moaning, party-starters Hit & Run are taking a more positive approach this weekend by hosting a fundraiser to raise money for Manchester foodbanks, which are part of the Trussell Trust, an organisation that are responsible for 80% of the UK's entire network.  

On the night punters will be able to pay just £4 to get in, or they can bring along four non-perishable items of food to donate. With the use of food banks rocketing over the last few years in the UK, all of the profits (and donations) on the night will go towards helping the frontline work carried out to get food to the most needy in society.

With links reaching far and wide in Manchester’s music scene, Hit & Run have pulled in some big guns to make sure the party goes with a bang. Alongside the lyrical dynamite of Chimpo, Skittles and T-Man you’ll find turntable support from the likes of Mark XTC & Sappo, North Base, Nanny Banton and many more.

If you’re hungry for beats this weekend, spare a thought for the people who rely on food banks to get through the day. Food for thought, for real.

Hit & Run presents Food 4 Thought at Antwerp Mansion on Saturday May 16. For more info check out the FB event page.
