“As with our annual ride from London to Download, the Monster Rock Auction is about tapping into the tremendous goodwill of the music industry,” says Rod Smallwood.
“Just as 50 riders assemble each year to ride 180 miles united by a common cause, the Monster Rock Auction is proof-positive that this isn’t just a genre of music - it’s a community, and as you can see the items we’re putting up for auction the community has delivered and then some.”
“The Monster Rock Auction is a powerful statement about rock and metal and and the people who make it happen,” adds Alexander Milas.
“The support the Heavy Metal Truants have had from the movers and shakers of our world over the years has been truly awesome, and it says something really wonderful about the ethos that underpins our end of the musical spectrum, and to date it’s added up to over £500,000 in support of the remarkable work that these charities do. Good luck to everyone who takes part - bid generously and bid often!"
