We join a handful of other forward thinking nonprofit organisations – Creative Youth, Rockinghorse, Greyhound Trust & The Hansen Foundation – who also hope to raise funds through their branded Keemoji keyboards.

Introducing the JSF Keyboard

The Joe Strummer Foundation mobile keyboard (#JSFKeyboard) is a great way to stay in touch with everything we are doing - our projects, new merchandise, gigs and events.

We hope that leveraging mobile technology to help raise funds will allow more nonprofits to reach and engage more supporters in a way not done before. Exciting times!

How the JSF Keyboard will benefit our Foundation

The fundraising element happens whenever you use the keyboard to buy something from one of the thousands of online stores from Amazon, Next, Tesco etc.. an average of 2.5% of everything you spend will be donated directly to the Joe Strummer Foundation. At no extra cost to you or us.

So if you spend £100 on your weekly shop then whoever you buy it from will give us £2.50. Every time you shop. At no cost to you and with no extra effort you are generating money for us from the shops you buy stuff from.

It’s a great thing to do for us just by doing what you do already. We can really grow what we do if lots of people use the JSF keyboard on their phones or tablets.

Thank you,

Check Out Melodic Prog-Rockers ‘Mad Symphony’

Mad Symphony is the collaboration of professional Vancouver-based musicians who collectively have many years of experience writing, recording, and touring internationally with various acts. Formed from the ashes of Seattle grunge-metal band Soulbender (which also featured Michael Wilton of Queensryche fame on guitar), lifelong friends and collaborators Dave Groves (guitar) and Wes Hallam (drums) joined up with multi-instrumentalist/producer/engineer Ted Tosoff (Blue Voodoo) in 2018 to begin writing for a new, as-yet-unnamed project. 

Ted knew of powerhouse vocalist Kevin Wright (The Wilds), whose raunchy and melodic vocal stylings a-la Bon Scott and Robert Plant, fit the new songs perfectly; Kevin was quickly recruited into the fold. To round out the lineup, the formative members didn’t have to look far. Dave and Wes had both played with keyboardist Mike Russell (Sweeney Todd) and bassist Amrit Prasad (Assault), but not always in the same bands or at the same time.  With the addition of Mike on keys and Amrit on bass Mad Symphony immediately began recording their debut album and rehearsing.

Mad Symphony will tell you that they write songs with a message of hope and resiliency that harkens back to the glory days of rock and roll.  Screaming guitars, driving drums, and huge vocals combine with melodic keyboard orchestrations and thundering bass to make the sonically dense and raucous sound that is… Mad Symphony.
