Eddy Says: RESET. Very cool DJs and a little magazine that needs your help

CALM

Thank you for all the sweet, thoughtful and kind messages that followed my clarion call regarding CALM last week. I’ve had the most wonderfully random, British, Dunkirk-spirited response from people as varied as a t-shirt company called Eco Boutique, who want to design and sell an item for CALM, through to Will from Dansette Junior, whose dad has a lovely holiday cottage in the Cotswolds that he’ll auction a weekend stay at for us. Even Dick Carruthers, the legendary director of Oasis, Manics and Cage Against The Machine fame is throwing his hat in the ring somehow, not sure how yet, but an email from Dick always leads to something good.

Any help, no matter how big or small, will be hugely appreciated, so thank you in advance. Though one thing you could all do almost immediately is have a fun night out with me tonight. As I mentioned last week, we’re going to be holding a number of parties in aid of CALM’s magazine RESET, and tonight the first is taking place in London.

RESET is given away for free in all branches of Top Shop. Unfortunately, because of the rise in the price of cotton, Top Shop can’t fund the magazine like they used to. They’ll continue to distribute it, but we need to find another brand to cover its relatively tiny production costs – something I’m confident we can do. There’s enormous value in such a good little magazine, that has people like Dan Le Sac, Scroobius Pip and myself among its contributors, and free distribution to a massive number of young people across the UK, both for CALM and any potential backer.

Meanwhile, if you have ever been entertained, outraged, edified or tickled in any way by this Eddy Says column in CMU, and you’re in London, then please show your support for tonight’s RESET launch party at The CAMP, near Old Street station. It’s an early night, so come if you can, or just spread the word as far as you can, as each person through that door tonight is another tenner towards a charity that is catastrophically, heart-breakingly neglected.

It should be very entertaining, really quick sets and an early finish, with a stellar bill from Gareth Brookes to Mr Hudson and Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. Dan n Pip will be there too, and all are sure to pull out something special. Here’s the running order. Thanks again for your help spreading the word…
