Tickets for the show sold out within hours of the announcement being made, with proceeds going to Sheffield Tree Action Group, the campaign organisation protesting against Sheffield City Council and Amey's controversial tree felling programme across the city.

A spokesman for Richard Hawley said: "We’re trying to raise money for legal fees for protesters exercising their democratic right to voice an opinion about the situation with the trees in Sheffield.....we can make it with a little help from our friends!"
