Story

Last year, food banks in our network provided more than 1.6 million emergency food parcels to people in crisis. More than half a million of these went to children. It’s not right that people can’t afford the basics. With your help, we can help end the need for food banks.As a nation, we expect no one should be left hungry or destitute. Illness, disability, family breakdown or the loss of a job can happen to any of us. With your help #ThisCanChange

In the words of our founder Max.....

"This group was never about trade in the economic sense. It was always about humanity and it was always about love. And it was also about understanding that music is an *essential* element of our being human. We have every reason to think that communities have been singing, playing, drumming and dancing together for hundreds of thousands of years, with every song and beat binding people together, literally creating and perpetuating harmony across our planet.

In our modern world, and contrary to all our instincts, we have commodified our artistic output and although we have created great art, high and low, in the process, we have also forgotten that music belongs to us all. If you have ever felt like expressing yourself artistically but stopped because you felt that your art was not worthy, the Viral Jukebox is your home. I mean it.

More than once since I created this group people have suggested that I could find a way to monetise it. They are missing the point. The currency here is love. Spend freely. Give freely. And remember, if you sang or played it from your heart, you played it right."

So this Christmas, with the Pandemic rolling on and weird hybrid lockdown in place, we thought it would be great to raise money, together, for our favourite causes, so choose the one closest to your heart (or follow the person who made a song you like and vote for a cause they love!)

Happy Christmas Jukeboxers!
