FUNDRAISING GIG NIGHT BRINGS A ‘FRIDAY BUZZ’ TO ISLINGTON

If you think fundraising, it’s often one-off stunts that come to mind, but Manolis Zografakis has decided to hold regular gig nights to champion both emerging bands and support his local charity Rowan Arts. Islington resident, Zografakis, is combining his love for indie/electro music and the local area with a brand new gig night ‘Friday Buzz’ to be held on the last Friday of every month at The Horatia, 98-100 Holloway Road, Islington, London N7 8JE.
Friday Buzz will launch with sunny dreampop from Wolf Alice, lush melodies courtesy of A Night at Sea and the atmospheric synth rock of Club Kuru. Seb Grey, DJ from The Leisure Hive parties, will provide science fiction disco sounds throughout the evening. Zografakis says, “The Friday Buzz will foster music talents and provide a professional space for bands around London to perform and take their first steps into the music business. While the audience can listen to the best up-and-coming indie bands in town.”
All proceeds from the Friday Buzz will go towards Islington-based charity Rowan Arts. They aim to act as a catalyst for social change through regular locally generated arts events. Zografakis is a Vodafone World of Difference winner, a scheme that offers 500 volunteers the chance to work with a UK charity of their choice. He says, “I chose to work for Rowan Arts because I share the same vision as the charity and understand the importance of arts charities in the community. I am a musician myself and know first hand how difficult it is to find a place to perform.”

Manolis is also organising the third Singer Songwriter Competition (Friday 8 June 2012) for Rowan Arts that will take place during the Holloway Arts Festival. More information can be found at www.hollowayartsfestival.co.uk
