The Legendary Bedford in Balham presents an evening of incredible music, unique performance and surprise guests - all for a very special cause.

Taking place on Jan 29th at indigo2 (in the 02 arena), there will be an astonishing line up of talent and entertainment. All the money raised goes to helping create a very important series of gigs for Bedford artists in the USA next year and tickets are only £20 (Available via ticketmaster)

With a history of helping discover and develop acts such as Paolo Nutini, Newton Faulkner, James Morrison, Amy Macdonald and many more, The Bedford is excited to be taking it's passion for performance to the worlds most important music festival, SXSW in Austin, Texas for 2010.

SXSW is probably the most successful and highly regarded music industry conference and performance festival in the world today.

Launched in 1987, it has grown into an annual showcase that attracts tens of thousands of key music business delegates from around the world as well as giving performance opportunities to over 1,800 artists, musicians and songwriters.

What was originally a very "US-centric" concept has now evolved into an essential international destination event that creates an unprecedented opportunity for British acts to immerse themselves in the heart of both the US entertainment business as well make invaluable connections with other territories.

The Bedford will be producing 3 nights of shows that can actively make a positive difference to an artists career all around the world, but we need your help.

The Bedford SXSW special fundraising show will be a celebration of some extraordinary talent as well as a chance to support the Bedford in this ambitious project.

In addition, 10 lucky ticket holders will win valuable prizes on the night and there will also be a celebrity auction and lots of surprises throughout the evening.

Please help us make a difference by getting tickets and passing this on to everyone you know, TOGETHER WE ARE ONE.
