Tonight, we're gonna rock you tonight

By Charlie Kirby - 24th February 2010

To paraphrase Spinal Tap manager Ian Faith, in the topsy-turvy world of pensions, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful.

With this in mind, Pensions Week has decided to offer a night of rock music, Pensions Rocks!, to distract pension professionals and their clients from the ongoing regulatory and investment burdens schemes are facing.

Borne out of conversations with pensions professionals who found their rock careers falling by the wayside due to work and family commitments, Pensions Rocks! is an opportunity for them to bring out their inner rock gods, and raise money for some worthwhile causes.

Six bands have bravely volunteered their services, with musicians from Redington, Mercer, JLT, Towers Watson, F&C Asset Management and the Personal Accounts Delivery Authority, to name but a few.

Ros Altmann has agreed to host the evening, to be held at the 100 Club on London’s Oxford Street on May 13. Early set list entries have revealed some truly rocking songs to be performed on the night, including classics by Cream, Kings of Leon, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and Free.

Tickets are limited: if you’d like to come along and enjoy a night of axe-wielding and amps turned up to 11, please email charlie.kirby@ft.com to join the waiting list. Tickets cost £20, with proceeds going to the winning band’s chosen charity.
