Music legends support James on his Roundabout Kilimanjaro challenge
Tramlines Festival co-founder and businessman James O’Hara and his friends are auctioning a host of city music memorabilia as they prepare to take on a towering challenge for South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout.
Supporters of Roundabout will be heading to Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, at the end of February - with everybody taking part expected to hit a £4,000 individual fundraising target.
And to help entrepreneur James and his party to reach their fundraising total, they’re currently holding a special auction of Sheffield music legends’ memorabilia.
Items up for grabs include a signed Arctic Monkeys' AM 12 inch single, a signed Bring Me the Horizon drum skin, a signed double vinyl white label test press of Milburn’s Well Well Well, a signed original seven inch single of Richard Hawley’s Coles Corner, a signed rare print from the Arctic Monkeys’ Hillsborough Park show and a signed original Royal Oak shirt.
“A huge thank you to James and his amazing team taking on Mount Kilimanjaro this February to raise funds for Roundabout and our work tackling youth homelessness in South Yorkshire,” said Roundabout Fundraising Manager Emily Jones, who is herself taking on the challenge.
“We also want to give very special thanks to all the amazing artists and Sheffield legends who donated these fabulous items and to James and the lads for setting up the auction.”
The online auction is running through to the end of November and can be visited at https://www.jumblebee.co.uk/auction/detail/auction_id/roundaboutkilimanjaroauction#none
