clock • 1 min read

The Protection Racket, featuring bands from across the industry, will perform to raise money for Disability Rights UK.

The third annual event will be held on 29 January 2015 at the O2 Academy in Islington London, starting at 7pm.

The gig is being promoted by Carr Consulting & Communications with the Mean Fiddler group.

Bands performing are: The ADLs, led by Andy Couchman; Lace & Whiskey featuring Melissa Collett; INXECS includes John Pollock; and The Deadlines with Linda Winder on drums, Ric Winder on guitar/vocals, Phil Scott on bass and Kevin Carr on keyboards. 

The charity Disability Rights UK works to help disabled people live independently and to put disability equality into practice across the UK.

The charity was formed from a merger of Disability Alliance, Radar and the National Centre for Independent Living in 2012.

Kevin Carr, organiser of the Protection Racket "We are really excited about the third protection racket event, which this year is supporting Disability Rights UK.

"We have four bands from the protection industry including the Ombudsman as well as Legal and General. A crazy night of rock and pop tunes lies in wait and we hope to raise a few thousand on the night. Tickets are available from ticketweb."
