Message From the Joe Strummer Foundation re WAYout ARTS

WAYout ARTS

Our friends over in Freetown are in pretty dire need of some new equipment for the studios. 

If you have anything that may be of use, please contact Hazel on hazel@wayoutarts.org - a long list of kit is below, even if it’s not in great condition, we can find a use for it!

Laptops - any kind, PC or Mac. Mac for music and video editing, PC for writing and internet research. For music production MacBooks 2015 and later, for all other uses, any age will work.

iMacs for video editing and music production.

Instruments - guitars, especially bass guitars, keyboards, saxophone and other brass instruments.

Sound cards, microphones, speakers and headphones for the music studio and mobile studio…

Cameras for video shoots. DSLRs or more professional cameras are welcome. Their trained filmmakers need to work on more professional kit than they have. Beginners can use DSLR or handycams. Tripods, drives, lights.

They are also always in need of memory sticks, old, unlocked phones - they do not need to be smartphones. Many of their members have no phone at all so the old push-button Nokias are just as welcome.

You can also donate to save WAYout Arts via JustGiving: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/savewayout

Frank Turner & Joe Strummer Foundation arrive in Freetown, Sierra Leone

Frank Turner & Joe Strummer Foundation arrive in Freetown, Sierra Leone  We've just had news that the crew have arrived safe and sound in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We'll have more updates to follow but if you want to see what's happening (as and when it happens) follow this hashtag #FTJSFWO - the boys will be posting from the ground whenever possible via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. This is a B.I.G. deal for us and it would not have been possible without your support. More information about the campaign - why we're doing it and what the objective is can be found on the main campaign page.
