A popular band who entertained thousands of people at this year’s V Festival are planning a number of gigs to help those in earthquake struck Haiti.

Ipswich-based Underline the Sky are hoping to tour around a number of schools to raise funds for the disaster hit island.

Their first gig will be at Leiston High School on Monday 8th Feb but they are hoping even more will get in touch.

Guitarist Dan Oaten said: “We were talking about how devastating the situation in Haiti is and what it must be like to have your life shattered like that.

“The idea just grew from that really. Here we were with a talent and love to entertain people and we tried to think how we could raise funds using this medium.

“The problem a lot of high school children have is that they love music and bands, but they are too young to go to the venues we and other bands perform at or cannot afford the larger organised festivals.”

The five-strong power punk band are now hoping that a number of schools in the area get in touch so they can raise as much money as possible.
