Maxine Peake said: 'It's been such a treat for me to bring together such an impressive and eclectic bunch of artists, and I'd like to thank them all for their eagerness to support this great cause. The Library really does deserve everyone's support, so we do hope you'll feel able to contribute as well as sitting back and enjoying our Radical Sounds this coming Bank Holiday'.
