Spring is finally on its way - and we're celebrating with a big fundraiser night featuring a fantastic line-up of musicians and poets, plus raffles, customised T-shirts and more.
We will also be outlining our aims as a grassroots organisation built on traditions and principles of mutual aid and community solidarity. If you're new to us and what we do, this will be a chance to see if it's for you :)
As a small community-based organisation with minimal resources, events like this are vital to sustaining our work long-term, including the monthly meals we have been running since 2022. We ask that you bear this in mind when purchasing your ticket - we are so grateful for all donations. A portion of the funds will be going towards our friends at a brilliant local organisation supporting LGBT+ asylum seekers in the UK.
So come along, bring your friends, have a boogie and support the movement!
Performers:
SOUL JUSTICE
Reigniting the neon lights of the 80's, this dynamic duo features funky guitar rhythms and soulful vocals that speak truths with passion.
ANANYA WB
Acoustic folk-inspired singer-songwriter, activist and OG Radmasher, Ananya will be wearing her performer hat this time to play a mixture of covers and original songs drawing from her radical politics and day-to-day life.
LUCY AND HAZEL
This Sheffield-based queer folk duo charm audiences with self penned folk laced with humour, harmonies and heartache. With influences drawn from a lifetime steeped in traditional English and European folk music, song and dance, Lucy Huzzard and Hazel Thompson combine a love of groove, soulful raw harmonies and passionate song writing to give you hope in these strange times.
KATZ WITH A K
Katz with a K raps about hedonism, madness and crime with clever wordplay, wry humour, littered with highbrow and low brow cultural references.
ATAKARMA
Dan, Jake, Grace & Eleanor - Atakarma's sound is heavily influenced by indie-rock and Grunge, with lyrical influences from the Punk movement and melodic solos inspired by different genres from Blues-fusion to Metal. They address discourse and relatable social difficulties they’ve tackled in their lives. With their first EP 'At Least You Tried' out now and another EP in the works, supporting/headlining gigs around Sheffield, they hope to expand their horizons to larger audiences.
The performances will be interspersed with poetry sets from local poetry collective Queer Writes and local activist and poet Silvana.
About RadMASH:
Sheffield Radical Mutual Aid (RadMASH) is a grassroots organisation which seeks to offer an alternative to the broken political system and sustain our local communities through We operate mainly through our monthly community meals, and have built a network where people can ask for, and offer up support, in whatever form that may be.
The meal aims to address the current cost-of-living crisis and many people’s increasing struggle to afford food through bringing the community together, as historic mutual aid initiatives have done before us. The meals also provide a space for sharing and swapping other resources such as books and clothes, as well as learning and practising crafts such as badge- and banner-making for our own and allied movements and campaigns.
Beyond the monthly meals, we have held other events such as fundraisers and film screenings exploring interconnected local and global people’s struggles, and cooked and served food at events held by other local organisations, such as migrants’ rights and pride groups. We aim to hold other educational events such as reading groups in order to further build our movement and local engagement in social justice activism, whilst continuing to support other aligned movements in the spirit of mutual aid and people’s solidarity.
