PRESS RELEASE - Fly the Moon launches exciting fundraising concert for the charity in Walk the Walk’s iconic tent

Fly the Moon Productions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Walk the Walk, are proud and excited to announce that their famous tent on Clapham Common, will host their first charity fundraising concert on Friday 15th May 2020 and to launch what they hope will become an annual event.

The platinum selling artists Catfish and the Bottlemen, the most exciting British indie rock band to burst through the UK, supported by bands Sports Team and Yonaka, will launch the night with an evening of energetic, home-grown guitar music in the iconic Walk the Walk tent.

In 2019, not only did Catfish and the Bottlemen play three arena tours of the UK, but they also did five tours in the United States, as well as touring Australia and mainland Europe.

Catfish and the Bottlemen are not performing for the charitable cause. However, as the organisers all profits from supporters and the use of the facilities are in aid of Walk the Walk.  

Tickets are on sale to the public from 9am on Friday 24th January 2020, priced at £40 each, via myticket.co.uk

Nina Barough CBE, CEO of Fly the Moon and Walk the Walk said:

“I have thought about this for many years, although it is a departure from the challenges we are known for, all charities need to diversify in order to meet the growing demands placed on them, and we have the perfect location for a concert. I am just delighted that Catfish and the Bottlemen have agreed to play at our inaugural concert and it's wonderful to be to be utilising our existing venue for this new and very exciting venture”.
