This year’s ScumFest is an internal benefit and any funds generated will go towards paying off the PA system that we are buying for future ScumFest events!  As usual, the festival is 100% DIY not-for-profit, volunteers are not paid and bands just get travelling expenses.  Up the punx!

Here is a list of the causes we have raised money for since 2005:

THE 56A INFOSHOP, DEFY ID, HOSPITAL BILL OF JACK CONTROL (LEAD SINGER OF SEVERED HEAD OF STATE & WORLD BURNS TO DEATH), THE LECCA PRISONERS, WOMEN AGAINST RAPE, THE UNGDOMSHUSET EVICTION BUST FUND, RELEASE, UK ACTION MEDICS, NORTH & EAST LONDON HUNT SABS, THE 1 IN 12 CLUB IN BRADFORD, OAXACAN INDIGENOUS RIGHTS IN MEXICO, INTERNATIONAL QUEER RIGHTS, PRISONER & LEGAL SUPPORT FOR BOLOGNA ANARCHISTS, POLISH ANTI-FASCISTS, INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO STOP HONOUR KILLINGS, THIS LIFE CAMBODIA, PUNX FROM ABBRUZZO ITALY HIT BY THE EARTHQUAKE OF APRIL 2009, JUSTICE FOR GARY CRITCHLEY, REKNAW SOUNDSYSTEM, GENDER L’VIV, THE AFRICAN LGBTI ASYLUM SEEKERS NETWORK, EARTHQUAKE STRICKEN TE WHARE ROIMATA (THE HOUSE OF TEARS) IN NEW ZEALAND, POLISH ANTI-HATE CRIMES GROUP AND THE FAMILY OF PHIL VANE, VOCALIST IN THE LEGENDARY EXTREME NOISE TERROR WHO PASSED AWAY IN FEBRUARY 2011.

We would advise those deeply concerned with guaranteed accommodation to check out hostels/back packers  in the area (some links provided below). Otherwise we suggest you take your chances, make some new friends who may be able to put you up for the night and see where you end up. The ScumFest Info point will be located on the second floor of the Bussey building (where the fest will be held Fri/Sat) and as aforementioned we will d o our best to help.

“We are very sorry to say announce that we have had to cancel playing the scum fest 28.5. and gig in Prague 26.5.2010. Our drummer Radek, “Ctyrlist”, has just had an operation to remove a tumour that was found last week and will not be able to do anything physicaly for about 2 months. His situation is quite serious and we are all hoping the best for him and his family. We were all looking forward to the scum fest being our first gig in Britain but it will unfortunatly have to wait. We apologize to the scum fest crew that have put a lot of time and work into us getting there, and to all of you who were looking forward to seeing us over there.
Me and Austin will be there so see you all soon.
