Push Play: Shy FX, Krafty Kuts, B-Traits, Dub Pistols, Elite Force, Freestylers, Deekline & Ed Solo & Many More
Thursday 28th March sees Shy FX, Krafty Kuts, B-Traits, Dub Pistols, Elite Force, Freestylers, Deekline & Ed Solo and Shut Up & Dance turn out to play a benefit gig in aid of Sonia Akow at The Egg in King’s Cross, London.
Sonia Akow, a music PR and DJ was diagnosed with Leukaemia at the end of last year. Half of the money raised for this gig will go to Sonia who has been unable to work since the diagnosis and the other half will go to The Anthony Nolan Trust, a charity whose mission is to raise awareness and help improve the quality of life for those suffering from the cancer that infects the blood.
As well as raising funds, the night aims to raise awareness about the stem cell donors needed to help save Sonia's life. Sonia's mother died of the same disease a year ago, and Sonia needs people with mixed white, Chinese, Black Caribbean and Indian connections to donate stem cells - as these are all part of Sonia's heritage.
Join The Anthony Nolan Trust to join the donor register; it may sound daunting, but all you have to do is fill in a short form and provide a saliva sample

If you're found to be a match, donating your stem cells is not much different to donating blood – and there's no operation involved.
Early bird tickets are £10 and tickets are available on the door:
Push Play at The Egg, 200 York Way, King’s Cross, London N7 9AX. 10pm – 6am.
