Event information

Three local acts are joining together to bring an evening of uplifting music to The Brunswick on Friday 22ndApril, fundraising for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Expect collaborations, fun, poignancy, earworms, singalongs, laughter, tears – and a raffle!

The brutal conflict in Ukraine has turned the lives of the Ukrainian people upside down. Families have been forced to leave everything they know behind to find safety, taking just a few possessions with them. It’s an unimaginable horror, and as individuals it’s hard to know what we can do to help, so as musicians we have joined together to put on an evening of folk and acoustic music, raising vital funds to support Ukrainian refugees.

THE LINEUP
The Cheer Up Mollys: Feel-good folk
The Cheer up Mollys are a Sussex-based all-female folk band known for their feel-good live shows and inventive arrangements. Performing folk, acoustic and Americana music as well as reimagined 70s and 80s pop hits and their own originals, expect lush vocal harmonies accompanied by guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, bass, and percussion.“An infectious blend of wonderful melody, harmony, musicianship, humour and above all, great entertainment.” - Bluebell Roots

Al Start: Upbeat indie-acoustic songwriter
Take a quirky look at life with original songwriting, humour and plenty of harmonies! Al Start writes songs about unexpected topics and tells a great story.“Nothing brings people together more than music. In this dark time, let’s come together and remember what makes humans amazing. We’ll share songs, stories and transport you from your worries for a wonderful evening of live music." 

Andy Melrose:Story-telling songwriter
Andy Melrose is a story-telling songwriter, performer and writer. His lyrical songs combine folk influences with social conscience themes as diverse as forced migration, homelessness and feminism and will feature material from his record, Fisherrow as well as his soon-to-be released new album Lingerwood. “I grew up singing anti-war songs – nothing changes except the wars, but we have to keep telling people that folk people like us continue to care.”
