Punk bands Sanction This, Red London and Slalom D will be playing at Sunderland Museum Vaults on 21 June. The gig is to raise funds to build a community monument to remember the International Brigade Volunteers from Sunderland who fought the rise of fascism during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.

Slalom D vocalist Fi Duncan talked about how the gig came about…”We’re good friends with Julio, one of the main organisers. He asked us because we’ve always taken a stance against racism and fascism. Especially at a time like this, we all have to stand up for what is right.”

“The International Brigade will always be an inspiration for people wanting to be on the right side of history. It’s an excellent cause, in one of our favourite venues, surrounded by our mates, it’s going to be a great gig”.

Entry is £10 on the door. Museum Vaults, 33 Silksworth Rd, Sunderland SR1
