Last winter, during the tier 3 lockdowns in Birmingham, The Night Owls’ very own Mazzy Snape worked alongside her neighbours and the Spearhead Trust to help out with ‘Operation Santa. Operation Santa is an initiative across the Druids Heath area of Birmingham. Druids Heath is one of the most under funded and neglected areas of the West Midlands. Operation Santa saw the donation of food, gifts and other necessities to families in the area who needed them the most. 

Last year, Operation Santa raised over £2500 for disadvantaged families and children in our local area in less than 6 weeks. The funding was used to support 54 families delivering 180 gifts to 120 children and over 60 parents to help them make their Christmas a more enjoyable one! 

This year, Operation Santa is back again, now a registered CIC, and is hoping to deliver even more presents and other necessities to the families of Druids Heath. To raise money for the cause, we are hosting a fundraiser with an absolutely stellar lineup on Sunday 14th November! 

We’ll be joined by Night Owl regulars, Midnight City Soul Band, the absolute disco diva Judy D, James Reidy, the legendary Jason Ensa and The Lobsters of Freedom and The Needless!

3 piece, local band, The Needless will be bringing everything Mod rock to the party! Playing original music and a variety of covers from the 60s, 70s and 80s, bringing in heavy tones of The Jam, The Beatles and The Who!
