GIG & FUNDRAISER - HALLCROSS PUB 3rd – 9th OCTOBER We Shall Overcome 2015 took place over the weekend of 2nd to 4th October. It eventually became 250 gigs in 123 towns across eight countries and three continents, raising an estimated £125,000 of cash, food, clothing and bedding for those hit hardest by austerity. Every weekend across the UK, we have an explosion of music and culture. It’s something to be proud of – gigs, open mics, poetry, stand up. It makes our communities vibrant and strong. But we also know that in our communities people are being hit hard by homelessness and poverty. There is a human cost to the politics of austerity. Please get in touch with Alan Mogzi if you’d like to contribute towards this event, which will bring together artists and musicians standing up to austerity.
Vintage on Silver Street is home to Sheffield’s iconic Twisted Burger Company, which has a mouth-watering menu for meat eaters and vegans alike. We think this is one of Doncaster’s best kept secrets, for those in the know it’s a firm favourite as Twisted Burger Company’s menu consists of unctuous burgers, and irresistible sides. The star of the show is the Pig Daddy Kane (double beef patty, pulled pork, American cheese, Dead Twisted BBQ Sauce, Chorizo and Apple Jam) which packs an almighty rich and comforting meaty punch to the taste buds. Vegetarians and vegans are well catered for with the vegan option the Drop Dead Twisted Barbecue Burger consisting of vegan meat patty and vegan cheese slice, BBQ Jackfruit and BBQ Sauce. It’s a well crafted menu and at one of Doncaster much loved music venues.
