Punk For Pam

Punk For Pam is a charity festival which takes place in Edinburgh in memory of Pam Blyth, and donates all profits to Waverley Care and Milestone Hospice. Pam Blyth, the sister of Colin Blyth, aka Jock , the guitarist of G.B.H., was a well known and loved member of the punk rock community in Edinburgh. She was diagnosed with HIV in the early 80’s and sadly lost her long battle with the disease in September 2011. Waverley Care, based in Edinburgh, (www.waverleycare.org) is Scotland's leading providers of support for HIV patients and also own and operate milestone hospice in Edinburgh. They provided extensive care and support to Pam and the whole Blyth family throughout the years of her illness by providing both a safe haven staying in the hospice and lots of support and advice in the outside world. The series, released by Urinal Vinyl Records, includes 10 lathe cut 7" singles. Each single has a limited pressing of 50 copies. The series features various bands that have supported the cause by playing the fundraising gigs.
