A close friend of the late Jackmaster has launched plans for a charity fundraiser.

The Glasgow DJ and Numbers co-founder died suddenly last year, with tributes pouring in for a figure who came to define an era in British dance music.

Joe Coghill worked alongside Jackmaster, with the two coming up through the ranks of Glasgow club culture together. Now he’s unveiled plans for an ambitious charity endeavour – walking from Broadstairs to Glastonbury festival.

It’s an epic 200 mile trek, with fans rushing to donate – more than £7000 has been raised, smashing the original target.

The chosen charities are the same as Jackmaster picked for his Edinburgh half-marathon – We Are With You, an organisation that helps people affected by drug, alcohol and mental health problems; and also Endometriosis UK, who are one of only a few charities collecting money to help women suffering from a chronic condition.

Training is underway now, and you can donate HERE.
