February's Rock It! For Charity is our last hoora (at least for a while) and this one's a little bit more special than the others - not only is it a fundraiser for local charity Common Wheel, who support people with mental illnesses through some inspired activities (more details on their website) but, it's also a BATTLE OF THE BANDS, with 3 of the cities best unsigned acts battling it out to win an epic prize (listed below) - so your attendance and support has never been more crucial! Not forgetting our exclusive giveaways from iCafe Merchant City* and Steak & Cherry** plus our epic £1 raffle - this is your last chance for a while to win from them, so don't miss out!
