Lancaster band raffles off gig to support city hospice

The four-piece from Bolton-le-Sands are well known across pubs in Lancaster and Morecambe for their indie rock anthems and original music.

Now they're offering individuals and businesses alike the opportunity to win a performance for a £10 charitable donation.

With heavy influences from the Arctic Monkeys, Oasis and the Beatles, the band are hoping to make a dent in the massive £5.1m running costs of keeping the hospice open each year.

Lead singer and guitarist Anthony Livingstone said: "In our community we have all at some point been directly or indirectly helped by the services the hospice provides.

"As such a well-known and important charity to us all in the area, we would like to support them in raising the vital funds needed to keep the hospice going year after year.

"Our idea to raffle off a gig is open to anyone - businesses and individuals. I'd urge anyone to enter - whether you have a venue for an upcoming birthday already booked, or if you're still to work out the details of how we'd fit in your living room - it's well worth entering for just a tenner.

"For local pubs, booking us in for next year could save you a pretty penny and be in the name of charity."

Tickets are being sold for just £10 via their Just Giving page at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/The44s

Make sure you have an active email address or message the band your contact details via Facebook so they can be in touch with you if you win.

Winners will be announced in the new year. The winner's performances must take place in 2024 and be within 15 miles of Bolton-le-Sands unless otherwise agreed with the band.
