Catch The Goldfish Live at The Backpack – and Support Spinal Injury Sufferers

Alert! Party with The Goldfish coming up at The Backpack! But first, some background info…

If you don’t know the story of Colin Javens, prepare to be astounded. Colin, 25, is a tetraplegic – he lost the use of his arms and legs in a diving accident – but that didn’t stop him from driving overland from Stoke Mandeville Hospital, in Buckinghamshire, UK, to Cape Town earlier this year, in an effort to raise funds for his charity, the Colin Javens Spinal Injury Trust. The Trust gives money to organisations – both in the UK and South Africa – that help people with spinal injuries and similar problems lead better lives.

Although Colin has now returned to the UK – by plane, this time, and no, he didn’t pilot it! – you can help him continue to raise funds for para- and tetraplegics by, well, partying hard to the groovy tunes of local band The Goldfish!
