An evening of live music, comedy, and poetry to help East End My Friend bring more cultural events and activities to the area.

East End My Friend is throwing a fundraiser gig so that we can bring more cultural events and activities to the local area. Since starting in November we've held four open mic events, meeting lots of talented local artists along the way. We've also hosted two local history sessions and a talk by a historian. There's more plans we want to realise, including ideas suggested to us by our audience, but we need some funds to make them happen. So if you like what we've been doing so far and want to support us to do more, please come along to The Anvil Inn for an evening of music, poetry, comedy, and raffle prizes!

Performing on the night will be friends of EEMF old and new:

David Hennessy, poet

Dolores Says No, musician

Gerardo Cruz, musician

Linda Grant, poet

Mateja Briody, musician

Rouge, musicians

Scott McCormack, comedian

Smoother Manoeuvre, musicians

Victoria McNulty, poet

With raffle prizes generously donated by:

We're still in the process of gathering raffle prizes - if you're a local artist or business who'd like to donate something, we'd love to hear from you!

As usual you can reserve a place for free, but this time there's also the option to donate to us when you book your ticket. We're keeping some tickets aside for the door, and you can also choose to donate to us on the night. Thanks in advance for anything you can give <3
