Bootdown Productions Christmas Fundraiser gig
The UK is in turbulent times. Bills are rising. Families are in hotel rooms. Flag shaggers are climbing the lampposts. You want to help, and you want to escape. Mutual aid and social solidarity are more important now than ever.
Boot Down Productions is a non-profit gig promotion, with 100% of profits going to our nominated charity.
Always for people, never for profit.
We want to craete an entirely inclusive environment; putting on amazing artists in amazing independent venues, all while raising money for our brothers, sisters and friends who have had the harsh end of the stick in this country.
Our first event will be in December, in aid of LifeShare – Manchester’s oldest homelessness charity. Come down and reclaim a bit of our real culture; getting sweaty in a room full of sound c*nts, and feeling the Christmas spirit by sharing what we have.

Their debut EP Radiodonta, released earlier in October, collectivises six sonic vignettes spanning time, nature, religion and human progress. From oceanic psychedelia to grunge-tinged introspection, this succinct body of work aims at being both raw and reflective, blending sharp and musing lyricisms with rich harmonies, live and electronic percussion blends, whilst underpinned by determined, serpentine grooves. You can listen to Radiodonta here.
