100 hitmakers against cancer

A big part of Catfest’s fundraising will come from 100 Hitmakers Against Cancer, a charity project which involves us organising and auctioning a series of donated guitars signed by the great and good of the music industry. The guitars will be auctioned at Catfest. Details on how to participate in this will be issued in the run-up to the big day.

Signatories so far include Sir Cliff Richard, Van Morrison, Brian May, Jools Holland, Lulu and many more. If you know any music stars who’d be prepared to sign, please get in touch!
