Liverpool’s own CamelPhat, the powerhouse duo of Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala, have announced a special charity gig in their hometown. On November 1, CamelPhat will perform at the Invisible Wind Factory, with all proceeds going towards Zoe’s Place, a beloved children’s hospice at risk of shutting down. This rare local appearance by the internationally acclaimed duo is not only a gift to fans but also a lifeline for the hospice that cares for Liverpool’s most vulnerable young ones.
A Critical Cause for Zoe’s Place
Zoe’s Place, established in 1995, provides respite, palliative, and end-of-life care for babies and young children between the ages of zero and five. Unfortunately, the hospice’s future is in jeopardy as its current lease is set to expire at the end of the year. Facing an urgent relocation crisis, the hospice needs to raise £5 million by November 9 to find a new site and avoid closing its doors. Zoe’s Place has been a cornerstone of the Liverpool community, providing essential care to families in need, and losing it would be a significant blow.
The fundraiser has already garnered more than £2 million, thanks to high-profile donors like football legends Steven Gerrard and Peter Reid, MP Ian Byrne, and singer Peter Hooton. CamelPhat’s charity event will further boost these efforts, offering fans an unforgettable night while supporting a truly vital cause.
A Hometown Homecoming for CamelPhat
Despite playing packed venues across the globe, CamelPhat rarely get the chance to perform in Liverpool, making this event even more special. Having formed in the city back in 2006 after meeting at 3 Beat Records, the duo skyrocketed to fame with tracks like their 2017 Grammy-nominated hit ‘Cola’. Their return to Liverpool will be a moment of homecoming, both for them and their fans, as they come together for this heartfelt cause.
Joining CamelPhat on the night will be another Liverpool icon, DJ Yousef, known for running the legendary Circus event series. Together, they’ll deliver a night of house and techno music that promises to be electric.
Music with a Mission
CamelPhat’s involvement goes beyond just music. Their charity gig is an opportunity for the dance community to rally behind Zoe’s Place and ensure it continues to serve Liverpool’s children. Tickets for this event go on sale October 24 at 10 AM via Skiddle. This is not just a chance to see CamelPhat perform in their hometown, but also a way to contribute to a cause that could change lives.
Don’t miss out on this incredible night of music, community, and charity at the Invisible Wind Factory on November 1. Let’s help Zoe’s Place secure its future!
