---
Champion Gaza is a collective of allies around the world who are connecting with families in Palestine as pen pals, and as champions for their fundraising campaigns to escape the violence in Gaza.
At this event, we'll be sharing music and solidarity with everyone affected in this conflict, and all returns will go to helping ordinary people survive in Gaza.
The evening will include a reading of Gazan writing by translator Alice Guthrie, atmospheric pop from Aluna Moon, acoustic folk from Joe Vaughan aka Do Easy, ambient guitar and synth explorations from Tom Summers aka Cold Water Music, and more performers TBC.
There also will be space for organisers to speak - we'll hear about the impact we can make with direct action from champion gaza organiser Matt Davis, and we invite others to share the stage.
