Gemma Maddison last night revealed that her and her band, Live Youth, have put plans into motion for an all star, open air gig to raise awareness of Billy Maddison's "wrongful conviction", and also make people "more aware of all the others that have been taken away from their families on little or no evidence, thanks to the incompetence of the british police", Mrs Maddison explained.

Gemma said that "this gig is important because people need to realise just how awful wrongful conviction is. It doesn't just take away a person's freedom, it also strips them of their dignity, self respect and belief in ever living a happy, normal life again. We can't allow this to continue".

The gig is due to take place on Saturday 14th November, followed by a mini gig, highlights video package and protest on parliament square, opposite the houses of parliament on Sunday 15th November.

"I appreciate that this is short notice," Gemma said, "but my husband's freedom, and the freedom of many others, relies on this protest. If we can show just how much support we can get in just one week, imagine how much support we can keep gaining in months, or years, the longer Billy is kept in prison for absolutely no reason. We need to place pressure on both parliament and the police service to make them realise that there needs to be tighter restrictions on the evidence needed to send somebody down for a crime this serious".

Anybody who is interested in pledging their support for Billy Maddison, please sign up below for a performance slot.
Please note: slot length will depend on the amount of sign ups we receive.


Confirmed performers:

Live Youth/also playing some Rebel Uprising hits
Jamie Walsh
Jakey Comatose
Moronic Changeling
Dead Roses
Quarantine
Avenue's & Alleyways
Nadia
Mind
Stephanie Fierce

Video package from the above and:

Quarantine would love to be there. In fact we dedicated "Night Of The Hunted" to Billy Madison last night at our gig with Pilot.

For those of you performing, the gig will be in Hyde Park, London, starting at 3pm this Saturday.
The protest on Sunday will run on Parliament Square from 1 til 5pm, although I've received messages from fans who claim they will be staying through the night, which they are welcome to do if they feel that strongly about the cause.
It is advisable to all performers, fans and supporters to bring warm clothing and possibly changes of clothes as rain is likely.

I'd love to be able to make it to the gig, but we're in the middle of our tour in Canada, we send our best wishes for the gig.
Although The Junction can't make it we have a band on our label called Avenue's & Alleyways who have nearly finished their debut album but we've spoken to them and they say they'd be happy to perform at the gig.

That's great. We welcome anybody, big or small, who want to support the cause. Also, if you were interested, we are making a little video montage of people who can't be there, so if you'd like to record a message for Billy, or for the fans to see during the show, you're welcome to.

We need to get our pretty small name out there, and there's no better way than a gig.

Gemma: Thanks, Ryan! :) If you are interested, there will be a video montage made up of a few messages other people who can't be there on the day are filming for us, if you would be interested? If not, that's cool, your support means a lot already!
Hope the tour goes well :)

We'll be there! Not. This is bullshit. Billy is a fucking murderer, half of you lot who signed up don't even know the guy! Guilty until proven innocent!

Gemma: How would you know who Billy does or does not know? Plus, even if they didn't, you don't know Billy, yet you feel you have the right to have an opinion, so why can't everyone else.
