The Benefit will take place this Friday (29th February) starting at 9pm and going till 1am. It will feature an amazing line-up. As well as djing from the likes of Ajay, Disebeats, Carol Leeming and Apocraphe there will be live music from Apocraphe himself - his last gig in the UK for at least a year, so also an opportunity to come say goodbye.
