Isle Of Wight Foodbank Fundraising Gig Being Held At Quay Arts

An evening of music in support of local people in crisis will be held at the Quay Arts in Newport next Thursday (October 14).

Held on behalf of the Isle of Wight Foodbank, the Music Madness event will feature The Rug Band, Two Big Violins, Second Time Around and Chasing Scarlett.

Isle of Wight Foodbank’s new Project Manager, Kay Lewis, said:

“I am excited to attend my first Music Madness and look forward to hearing the bands as well as meeting new faces.

"I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of Quay Arts, the bands and all who support the event.

"As we come up to Christmas, we are entering our busiest season and with energy and food costs continuing to rise, so too does the amount of people we support."

The past six months has seen the Isle of Wight Foodbank support more than 2,600 people — an increase of over 50% from the previous six months.

Tickets for Music Madness, which starts at 7.30pm, cost £8 and can be ordered online.
