On the 29th June 2020 we'd raised £22,556 with 926 supporters in 11 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Every penny that is made over our target will go towards continuing to help The Grand reopen.

ABOUT THE GIG
Frank Turner and Beans On Toast hosted a one off streamed gig LIVE from our stage, with very special guest Billy Bragg joining for a few songs and conversation via satellite link up, an some wonderfully talented friendly faces in support.
All to help Save The Grand, one of London's oldest Independent Venue's, The Clapham Grand ❤️
THANK YOU x
This was a very special gig, streamed LIVE from our stage, to raise vital funds to enable The Clapham Grand to reopen after it's enforced Covid-19 closure. With £50k a month rent still being charged, no income and no opening date, one of London's oldest and biggest Independent venue's is dangerously close to closing forever.
Frank Turner's love & support of Independent Venue's is incredible, and we are proud to be hosting his 13th show to support them, making his debut on our stage! Another huge supporter of independent venue's Beans On Toast will also be playing live, joined by the one and only Billy Bragg for a chat & two tracks performed via satellite link up!
Some wonderful friends & family from London's amazing live music scene of the mid 00's will also be performing, as Alfie (The Holloways), Gerry (SixNationState) & Ciara Haidar all be playing a few tracks, alongside DJ sets from the legendary Tom Frog, Big O, good vibes from Dave Danger and hosted by The Grand's manager, Ally Wolf.
PLEASE NOTE
This show will be filmed on the grand stage following government physical distancing guidelines, no performers will be in direct contact and will only in the venue for the duration of their performance.
