A Party for ChlayUnit 9, Old Wolverton, March 3Silver Tongue Bandoliers, Project Noise, Billy Nomad & The Common Army and Kayner are joining forces for a charity bash at MKs newest live music hub, to raise funds for a singer-songwriter who has been managing a number of diagnosed conditions - including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Post Tachycardic Syndrome and Multi Chemical Sensitivity.The seriousness of these conditions means her immune system has been depleted. Chlay does have the chance of medical help though - for a fee. Her system can effectively be re-booted to help her body regenerate its own immune system. And you can help.By taking a ticket for the show, you get to have a good time and help Chlay to get better.
