Fuck Borders Fundraiser

A Leeds fundraising night at Wharf Chambers, combining R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, with sets from Tom Harris, Ruti and Serin in support of a local mother and daughter seeking asylum.

The evening brings together R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae in a fundraiser for a local mother and daughter who are seeking asylum. The line-up is Tom Harris, Ruti and Serin, the last described by the organisers as local folk legends. The event centres on community and solidarity, and it takes place on a Sunday evening.

Ruti is a British singer born in 1999 in Southend-on-Sea, and has been active since 2018. The debut album, MixTeaMilkTape!, was released in 2023. Tom Harris is also performing on the bill.

Wharf Chambers, at 23-25 Wharf Street, is a Leeds venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. Alongside the performances, local artist Erin Nicholson has prints for sale, and anti-border, pro-migration friendship bracelets are also available to buy, with the message that borders do not keep people safe.
