Returning for a one off, Relentless will once again be unleashing its techno on the Glasgow masses. Last
seen at the Subbie in 2007 they return with their very first guest, James Ruskin (pictured), and a very worthy cause. ‘Co-promoter in Relentless and DJ partner for ten years, Andrew Eastcroft (better known as Easty) was involved in a fall in which he broke his back,’ explains DJ/promoter Steven Sewell. ‘The end result was paralysis from the waist down, a six month stint in the Southern General and ultimately, life confined to a wheelchair.’ This special date will be raising funds for Spinal Injuries Scotland (www.5isonline.org) and money to help send Easty to a
specialist clinic. I The Sub Club. Glasgow, Fn' 22 May.
