Pie Factory Music and St George’s Ramsgate are teaming up to present a gala fundraiser in our iconic Grade 1 listed church in a bid to raise vital donations to save Pie’s youth centre following KCC’s decision to sell the building and to allow for vital repairs to St George’s vestry roof. The evening features a host of acts who have graduated from Pie’s Emerging Artists programme since it began running in 2018, for a night of electrifying music entertainment.

Char.B, Claire Pitt Wigmore, debdepan, Evan Williams, Harmony Bo and JanMakesNoise will each perform their signature styles, from punk to rap to funk and soul, electronica and rock, demonstrating the undeniable and ever-growing talent of Thanet’s young musicians.

This is a unique chance to hear the sound of young Kent in a immersive and acoustically rich environment and support two organisations with community at their heart.

St George’s regeneration officer Jemima Brown says: – ‘St George’s Church is delighted to be hosting artists from Pie Factory Music in our beautiful building. It will be fantastic to have young local talent showcased in the church. It’s all part of our 5-year Project 200 5-year regeneration project, funded by the Diocese of Canterbury leading up to the 200th Anniversary of St George’s Church in 2027. Now nearly 2 years into the project, we have been opening the church up to the wider community in Ramsgate, with events and projects outside of Christian worship. We’re so excited for this event and hope you can join us.”

David Morris, Pie’s Emerging Artists Programme Lead says: “It’s such an honour to play in this beautiful building and for our aspiring artists to have this opportunity. The timing couldn’t be more important for us as we fight to save our youth centre which gives young people a safe space to hang out, explore their creativity and be themselves. We can’t wait to see you there.”

Technical production is being provided by Pie alumni James Brown. There will be a pay bar, with doors opening from 7.00pm.
