The Ginger Avenger is an event created in loving memory of Colin Downie who fought a short but valiant battle with cancer. Colin was a metal head viking with a comic book obession. He was a kind and gentle soul who was wise beyond his years with a wicked sense of humour.  Colin had a way of making people feel important and valued.

 The purpose of this event is to honour him in that and giving space to all metal head vikings to come together and celebrate one of the greats.

​

This event started as a Halloween party held in Ingrams bar in 2024 and folloiwing the huge success in raising £1000 we could think of nothing better than going even bigger and better this year with hosting a full scale Music event which we aim to raise even more money for charity through!!
