Gopherit
Two special shows have been organised at Roseberry Road Studios in Bath to raise both funds and awareness for the work of Cancer Research UK. These fundraising events showcase performances from four emerging local DJs and bands, while supporting the UK charity’s mission to improve cancer survival rates.
The events are organised by a 22-year-old Bath-born musician Tom Andrews who is currently completing a master’s degree in Commercial Music at Bath Spa University. Alongside playing drums in multiple Bath and Bristol-based projects — including Sober Sundays, GAWS, Stay Lunar, and Badlands — he run's gopherit events, which launched in March to bring live music shows to Bath.
After witnessing a close friend begin cancer treatment, Tom felt compelled to contribute to the fight against the disease. Partnering with Cancer Research UK offered a meaningful way to make an impact while championing local music.
Tom says: "Following the ethos of all gopherit events productions, the shows feature emerging alternative-genre artists from the local area. Roseberry Road Studios, a vibrant new community art space, provides the perfect venue."
James Carlin from Roseberry Road Studios says: “We’re delighted to partner with a young local promoter like Tom to raise funds for such an important cause. Our aim here is to provide a platform for creative talent in Bath while making a positive difference in the local community and this event is the perfect fit. Come down on Friday and discover some incredible new music.”
The first show, held on Saturday 9th August, raised over £150. Local DJ and bluehue. record label founder JB Hain opened the night with a powerful EDM/garage set, followed by an intimate performance from Bath/Bristol-based Paper Crowns — a post-punk/jazz group that became one of the first live bands to ever play at Roseberry Road Studios. The evening was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception.
The second event will also take place at Roseberry Road Studios on Friday 15th August, with doors opening at 7:30pm. The line-up includes alternative electronic duo Auxterror, and local band Spiderhoney, whose unique sound blends influences from Courtney Barnett, English Teacher, and Fontaines D.C. Entry is free, with donations to Cancer Research UK encouraged at the door.
