Great gigs, and for a good cause
PREVIEW: The Little Noise Sessions
Union Chapel
A WEEK of gigs in aid of Mencap, the charity for people with learning disabilities, which runs from November 20-27, features a starry line-up, including Oasis grouch Noel Gallagher, pop-starlet Lily Allen, indie sell-outs the Kooks, ‘Stella’ rapping Jamie-T, Scot rockers the Fratellis, and beautiful-voiced James Morrison.
It may not change playground jibes, but it could make the rest of us at least think about things. Even if just for a night.
Although spending your cash to watch a load of big names sing probably won’t change the world – did Live8 make any difference in the end – but the bottom line is it will raise a bit of money.
Jo Whiley, patron of the charity (who has a sister with a learning disability) and gig compere, explains the reasons why you should part with your pennies thus: “The Mencap Arts Awards scheme – which these gigs are supporting – gives children and young adults with a learning disability the opportunity to take part in local arts projects, helping them grow in confidence and ability.”
