RADMASH (Sheffield Radical Mutual Aid) fundraiser night featuring a fantastic line-up of musicians and poets, plus raffles, customised T-shirts and more. Come along, bring your friends, have a boogie and support the movement!

RADMASH is a grassroots organisation which seeks to offer an alternative to the broken political system and sustain our local communities, mainly through monthly community meals running since 2022. It has built a network where people can ask for, and offer up support, in whatever form that may be. They also have other events such as film screenings exploring interconnected local and global people’s struggles, and cook and serve food at events held by other local organisations, such as migrants’ rights and pride groups in the spirit of people’s solidarity, built on traditions and principles of mutual aid. This event will be a chance to see if it’s for you.

As a small community-based group with minimal resources, events like this are vital to sustaining the work long-term. Therefore ticket prices vary according to income: £5/£10/£15 (or donation for supporting but not attending). A portion of the funds will be going towards a local organisation supporting LGBT+ asylum seekers.

Important: You must be a Gut Level member to attend, but don’t worry, membership is cheap: £2 per year, sign up before buying tickets via Gut Level website here

The Fundraiser evening tickets link is on Eventbrite.

Performers:

SOUL JUSTICE

Reigniting the neon lights of the 80’s, this dynamic duo features funky guitar rhythms and soulful vocals that speak truths with passion.

ANANYA WB

Acoustic folk-inspired singer-songwriter, activist and OG Radmasher, Ananya will be wearing her performer hat this time to play a mixture of covers and original songs drawing from her radical politics and day-to-day life.

LUCY AND HAZEL

This Sheffield-based queer folk duo charm audiences with self penned folk laced with humour, harmonies and heartache. With influences drawn from a lifetime steeped in traditional English and European folk music, song and dance, Lucy Huzzard and Hazel Thompson combine a love of groove, soulful raw harmonies and passionate song writing to give you hope in these strange times.

KATZ WITH A K

Katz with a K raps about hedonism, madness and crime with clever wordplay, wry humour, littered with highbrow and low brow cultural references.

ATAKARMA

Dan, Jake, Grace & Eleanor – Atakarma’s sound is heavily influenced by indie-rock and Grunge, with lyrical influences from the Punk movement and melodic solos inspired by different genres from Blues-fusion to Metal. They address discourse and relatable social difficulties they’ve tackled in their lives. With their first EP ‘At Least You Tried’ out now and another EP in the works, supporting/headlining gigs around Sheffield, they hope to expand their horizons to larger audiences.

The performances will be interspersed with poetry sets from local poetry collective Queer Writes and local activist and poet Silvana.
