Save Lewisham Hospital has grown into a flagship campaign that is emblematic of the national resistance against the cuts and the privatization of the NHS, in South London and beyond.
25,000 people marching on the streets of Lewisham in January signified the struggle for our public health service is long from over.
A dedicated group of artists and activists and have generously collaborated to donate their time, energy and resources to galvanize the campaign into it’s next phase!

Our outrageous selection of raw talent for the evening includes:

Karim Kamar – South London-based contemporary classical composer and pianist performing music to stop you in your tracks. Latest piece “Midnight to Morning” deals with themes of mental health.

AltTrack – Radical trip-hop and dub-flavoured punk from West Yorks two-piece now based in South London (with one member studying at Goldsmiths). Think Joe Strummer x Massive Attack.

Bridget Minamore – South London poet now residing north of the river. Bridget wishes it to be known that she had tickets to see So Solid Crew on the night of this gig, but thinks saving Lewisham Hospital is more important than getting nostalgic about UK garage.
