Welcome to the official Bands for Darfur Myspace!
“Bands for Darfur” was set up to search for bands across the UK, to speak out against the crime on humanity in Darfur, and use our music to help bring peace back to their land.
“Bands for Darfur” has arranged for the proceeds from each gig to be donated to Fund4Darfur; an excellent new initiative launched by Aegis Trust with actress Mia Farrow on 2nd December 2007, to help Darfur women who have suffered sexual violence, to educate Darfur children, to help Darfur asylum seekers in the UK and help Aegis Trust’s UK campaigning work on the crisis.
I want use the energy of the music scene to help the people of Darfur, and to send a strong message across the UK that this crisis must end now. As one– we urge people to show their support.
Your support will make the difference.
Gigs will be designed to raise awareness and funding for more than 1.8 million people affected by the continuing crisis in Darfur, Sudan. The situation in the strife-torn region remains extremely volatile. More than 200,000 Sudanese have fled to neighbouring Chad and 1.6 million people, who have been displaced internally, are living in desperate conditions inside Darfur where there has been a complete breakdown in security.
Unique live gigs are allowing the UK's break through acts to perform in their own genre and style as well as performing with leading artists from the music industry for the victims of Sudan’s Darfur conflict.
More artists are pledging to take part in, or support, the event on a daily basis.
Making music & raising money for Darfur crisis.
