Shake your ass for justice!

Galvanize! returns to Timbuk2 raising much needed funds and awareness for the Free West Papua Campaign...

Get ready to shake your ass for justice once again!

July's Galvanize! was a strictly good vibes mashup of the highest order: many, MANY thanks to all who came down and made it such a fun night, raising over £600 for the Free West Papua Campaign. November 20th sees us back at Timbuk2 with yet another juicy lineup of funky beats and bassy treats!

Everyone involved gives their time and talents for free, enabling 100% of profits to go directly towards helping free the people of West Papua from an illegal Indonesian military occupation. A catalogue of unforgivable human rights abuses and environmental destruction goes on with barely a whisper from our media or Government.

The Galvanize! music policy is - if it's good, let's play it and let's play it loud! A mashup selection of the finest Reggae, Hip Hop, Funk, Dubstep, Jungle, Grime, Breaks and beyond.

An absolute bargain 4 quid (before 11, £5 after) gets you all this -
