Oxfam campaign with Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly
 Lucky Outreach campaigner, Sarah fills us in on her time at the Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly gig at London’s The Forum in Kentish town:
“Fantastic crowd with a great reception to the campaign, we collected loads of
sign-ups throughout the night - covering everyone everywhere, from the foyer, to the bars, to the balconies.
This positive reception may come as no surprise seen as Sam, the man behind GCWCF, has been heralded by some as a political artist, somewhat reminiscent of
Billy Bragg. His short speeches between songs covered topics including child
labour, the BNP, and Fair Trade - to which he had added a superb video backdrop filled with statistics and facts. Incredible.
As Sam and his live band continue to climb the ladder of what is shaping up to be a very successful year, it is refreshing to see an artist of his age, genre and talent using his pull to share thoughts on issues that are of such importance to his crowd.
Outreachers watched the performance from the front rows of the Balcony seats after circulating the crowd during opening acts The Dykeenies and Pull Tiger Tail. We eventually rolled out of the forum at around 11pm with the ‘ba da ba ba bas’ of the closing song still running round in our heads, and the feeling that we had just witnessed something very special indeed.
Thanks for letting us be there!”
