The Maccabees announce intimate show in aid of the MS Society
The Maccabees have announced an intimate gig at The Dome in Tufnell Park on Friday 20 June ahead of their UK and Europe dates.
The show, in aid of the MS Society, has been organised by guitarists Felix and Hugo White. The brothers, who were announced as MS Society Ambassadors in 2016, have supported the charity for many years as their mother lived with multiple sclerosis (MS) and passed away when they were teenagers.
“This show means a lot to us as MS is a cause close to our hearts. When we knew the band were getting back together, we really wanted to do something again to support the MS Society. We’re really excited this has come together - it’s going to be a special night,” says Felix.
“Our mum had MS so we know the devastating effect it can have on young people and families. We’ve always done what we can to raise awareness and funds for the MS Society, and we’re delighted to be able to put on this show” adds Hugo.
Mark Haymes, Head of Community and Events Fundraising at the MS Society says: “We're over the moon that The Maccabees are back together and picked their first live gig to raise money for the MS Society. We’re forever grateful for Hugo and Felix’s continuous support. MS can be debilitating, exhausting and unpredictable and money from this gig will go to our Stop MS Appeal which aims to raise £100,000,000 to fund vital MS research.”
The ticket ballot is now open. Successful entrants will be contacted by 2pm on 2 June and will be charged £20 (+ booking fee) per ticket. All funds raised go to the MS Society’s Stop MS Appeal.
