March of
the Mods is coming to Huddersfield, offering 14 live bands over a day of rock
fun.
The
‘modfest’ is being hosted at The Irish Centre on Sunday, March 23.
Hometown
heroes The Killermeters are lined up to co-headline with The Chords UK.
Top
support comes from indie rockers Redstar with a host of other bands and DJs
including Alan ‘Glory Boy’ May and Mick the Mod.
The gig,
which starts at noon, is part of a national campaign featuring 50 towns and
cities who are hosting events all to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Last
year the events raised £50,000 and organisers are hoping to double the amount
this year.
Organiser,
Jason Taylor, said: “This is a big deal for Huddersfield as we haven’t ever had
anything like this before with bands coming from as far as London and Wales to
play.
“Even
bands like The Strypes have got involved by donating things to auction off.
“We also
have appearing the original Lambretta scooter that was ridden by Jimmy in the
seminal film Quadrophenia by The Who.”
In true
Mod style, the concert will feature a scooter ride-in with trophies, a raffle,
stalls and food and drink.
The
event is also sponsored by Barclays bank who have vowed to match fund the sum
raised for charity.
Tickets £10 from Jason on 07407 437500 or jtlambretta1@sky.com, or Alan on 07947 866697.
