The band will perform at Omeara, London, for a special fundraising show and will be bringing along\u00a0Charlie Barnes and Monty Taft in support.<\/p>\n
Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Music Support to help the charity\u00a0achieve their mission of ensuring that no one in the UK music industry suffers mental or emotional health or addiction issues alone.<\/p>\n
Music Support continue to offer vital lifelines to those that work in music including a\u00a024\/7\u00a0helpline, festival safe tents, crisis support and workshop training. The support offered is open to anyone who works in the music industry, artists to managers, crew to security and everyone in between.<\/p>\n
Money raised from this event will go towards ensuring that more people are aware of the services provided and that services continue to reach those that need it most.<\/p>\n
Following the release of their recent album ‘Spiritual Dark Age’ in January 2018, To Kill A King have already completed a successful UK headline tour, supported Bastille on the \u201cReorchestrated\u201d tour and are about to head out to Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cMusic Support do incredibly important work in an industry that can be exploitative of its artists and when we were asked to get involved, we jumped at the chance. Omeara is one of our favourite small venues and we\u2019re planning on making it a really special night,\u201d said\u00a0guitarist, Grant McNeill.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe London based five-piece have an army of dedicated fans some of whom have played an important role in the crowdfunding options To Kill A King used to get ‘Spiritual Dark Age’ made and released. The album features a sensational mix of sound ranging from raw and honest acoustic to sensational, toe tapping crowd pleasers and with a live set up to match, the band are ready to take 2018 by storm.<\/div>\n\n\u201cThis \u00a0our first ever fundraising show and we are incredibly proud and excited that a band with the calibre of To Kill A King are joining us. It goes to show that we are really receiving support from all areas of the industry across the board, and events like this enable us to continue providing the crucial services to the industry that we saw such a need for.”\u00a0 – Matt Thomas, Music Support founding trustee<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nSupport will come from the sensational Charlie Barnes who some may recognise from playing with internationally acclaimed Bastille for their live shows and festivals over the past few years.<\/div>\n\n”It’s such an honour to have been asked to be part of this night for Music Support.\u00a0 Being involved in music can be a pretty weird job; of course it has its dizzying highs, but those can’t exist without some, in my experience, fairly daunting lows.\u00a0 It can be so easy to feel like you’re the only person in the world experiencing tough times in this industry, but organisations like Music Support are doing wonderful work to help us all feel a little bit less like we’re on our own.\u00a0 I’m also, like, totally pumped to get to see my new best buds To Kill A King again, and make a new friend in the Marvellous Monty Taft\u201d<\/div>\n– Charlie Barnes<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nAfter the release of ‘More Stately Mansions’ in 2015, Charlie has now released his follow up album ‘Oceanography’ which saw his next single ‘Bruising’ drop on 4th May 2018 with the b-side featuring a live acoustic version from the recent support tour with Bastille.<\/div>\n[space height=”10″]<\/div>\nMonty Taft will open the show. The 18 year old singer\/songwriter from Jersey varies in genre between indie, folk and pop.<\/div>\n[space height=”10″]<\/div>\nHis original sound has gathered a lot of interest in the music industry over the last couple of years. He released his first single ‘These Walls’ in March 2015 to great critical acclaim which achieved regular national airplay including Radio 1. Having performed at over 400 live gigs and festivals including Glastonbury Main Acoustic Stage he is an accomplished live act with his single ‘Delay’ featuring on many Spotify playlists followed and played by thousands of listeners worldwide.<\/div>\n
