Today (Sunday)
From 19:00 @ The Sputnik there’s an evening for homeless / disadvantaged children. You can bag up donations (clothes and stuff, in good condition, please) and bring them with you to be donated to the Shanti House and other local organisations working with children. There will also be an art sale raising money for the same causes. Of course, also cool music and cool people. Free to attend.

Blues & Booz, again @ Radio EPGB from 22:00. Listen to others jam or sign up at the event (till around midnight) if you want to play yourself. You’ll need your own instrument (apart from drummers) and to actually know how to play / sing. Free, though after a certain point they might charge non-performers like 10NIS or something.
