ANDY O'ROURKE'S CHARITY BUSK

• 5th Jan 2007

Calling all buskers – former Smiths man Andy Rourke needs your help.
He is hoping to stage the biggest busking gig ever, in Manchester's Exchange Square on 13 Jan. The Big Busk will aim to raise funds for cancer charity Versus Cancer.

Rourke explains: “A record of this kind has never been attempted before so it will be great if we can do it, especially as it's for charity. We hope to raise £1 million to fight cancer with our 2007 concerts, and we hope this will set the ball rolling nicely. So please, show your support and help us set the world busking record on 13th January and raise some much needed money for charity”.

Anyone interested in taking part in the big busk, taking place between 2pm and 4pm on 13 Jan, should email their name, contact details and details of their musical talents to mail.

The first of the “2007 concerts” in aid of Versus Cancer takes place at the MEN Arena on 30 Mar.
Tickets go on sale on 12 Jan, more info can be found at link
