On Saturday 5 March 2011 Oli Smith, drummer with Milton Keynes ska-core crew, ANTI VIGILANTE, passed away following a battle with abdominal cancer.
To celebrate Oli’s life the band has arranged a memorial, benefit gig. Taking place at the Underworld in Camden on Thursday 30 June, the show will feature bands that were close personal friends of Oli’s.
The line-up is as follows:
THE SKINTS
ANTI VIGILANTE
BROKEN NOSE
+ Secret Special Guests (to be announced shortly)
Tickets are £8 in advance, or £10 on the door. All the money raised from this event will go to Willen Hospice, a charity which is dedicated to providing specialist palliative care for patients and support for their families. It’s a charity that is close to the hearts of Anti Vigilante as they provided amazing care and support for Oli before he passed and continue to help his family.
