ISOFEST - For Nurses on the NHS Frontline
Donation protected
IOSFEST - Donate. Rave. Repeat
8th May 2020 - 11am - 1am
Watch & Listen To The Livestream
Brought together by the collective love and might of a wide group of underground music loving friends and DJs, we bring you 14 hours of live streamed entertainment from across the dance music spectrum.
What started as the idea of DJs playing for their friends while on lockdown quickly grew into a whole day of varied electronic music over the April Easter weekend. It brought together hundreds of listeners as word of mouth spread. ISOFEST was born.
And aside from sharing music we love, what we are most keen on is to use this event for good. Recent events have strengthened our resolve...

One of our group lost his dad very recently. It was, as you’d expect, an incredibly tough time, but one made so much better by the contribution of the NHS hospital staff, and one person in particular.
We will call them Nurse N.
They worked 12hr shifts in uncomfortable PPE at our friend’s dad’s side when the current situation meant much of his family couldn’t be, and treated both him and the family, with an empathy, kindness, and level of dignity that gave so much comfort.
It’s inescapable that they and their colleagues can never be properly rewarded for what they do; they are incredible people.
Now, what we’d like to do is raise some money directly for Nurse N, but such is the selfless nature of what they do, nurses are not allowed to accept any significant gifts.
Instead we think we’ve got the next best thing: we’re going to ask Nurse N to choose a cause to make a donation to in their name for half the amount we raise, and give the rest to the the wonderful Cavell Nurses' Trust, that supports wonderful nurses like Nurse N all over the NHS and beyond.
The actual identity of Nurse N ultimately is not important. They have no idea this is happening, and who they are will never be revealed. But what does matter is the selfless, caring group of people they embody, now more than ever.
All donations are gratefully received, and every penny will go to charity. And together we hope we can do something that provides Nurse N, who is at the start of their career, with a gesture that they will remember forever; in the same way our friend and his family will remember the difference they made to his dad.
