A big-hearted rock group will hold a special benefit concert in Kingston to raise money for Burmese democracy.
On Saturday, August 21, Kingston-based rock group, Bommerillo, will hold a special benefit gig at the Grey Horse pub in Richmond Road, to raise money for Amnesty Kingston’s campaign to bring democracy to Burma.
Kingston Amnesty member Hugh Sandeman said: “We have already purchased a number of radios that are sent to Burmese people so they can hear independent broadcasts.
“One radio could help a family or community learn about their rights and show them the international solidarity that Burma’s military regime works so hard to silence.”
Ben Trevor, the band’s lead singer, said: “We are very excited to be playing at the Grey Horse again, knocking out some of our usual great songs, and knowing that the proceeds will go directly to giving a democratic voice to Burmese people.”
