Gig against gun crime
8:26am Saturday 5th July 2008
Campaigners against the scourge of gun crime in society are hosting a performance event in North Finchley tonight.
The music and dance gig has been organised by Mothers Against Guns, who have also teamed up with the Unarmed Project and promoters.
"Teen Nation LDN" will be held at artsdepot at Tally Ho Corner from 6.30pm and will feature urban groups and rappers, including Choong Family, as well as street dancers.
A spokeswoman for Mothers Against Guns said: "The organisation calls for people to set up campaign groups in their communities, to see an end to Britain's rising gun culture and lobby the government to introduce stiffer penalties for people convicted of gun-related crimes."
All the funds raised from the event will go to supporting the work of the Anti-Gun crime group.
Tickets cost £5 and are available from the arts depot or by calling 020 8369 5454.

Many people have discovered a purpose to their life through music which would have otherwise been lacking. It won't solve every problem, but even if only a few kids are turned off violence then it is a worthwhile exercise.
I see a thousand musicians a week come through the studio, all working hard. Many of them say to me that music is the thing that keeps them on the straight and narrow, so I know the positive effect. Having been professionally involved in music for 29 years, there is no question that music is one of best ways of helping youngsters develop. Gigs such as this give those youngsters an inspiration. It is a showcase and an outlet for their energy.
I applaud the organisers.
