Forwarded from out Friend Phil Oates, looks worth while to me! Andy .... I wonder if you could help publicise an event - it's a fundraiser for the QE2 Activity Centre (a registered charity providing activity opportunities for people with disabilities). You might remember the Centre as the setting for Jockstock, another fundraiser we organised a decade ago(!) with John Roberts. This gig has echoes of Jockstock - Michael Weston King will be performing songs by Jackie Leven and Townes van Zandt. I would recommend it wholeheartedly! Tickets are £12 from the Discovery Centre box office - here's a link http://www3.hants.gov.uk/library/whatson-library/libraries-event-search/libraryevent.htm?id=267712 Money raised is going towards a specific cause - we have been working with the family of James Male to raise enough to buy a wheelchair accessible motorboat. James was one of the crew of the yacht Cheeki Rafiki, which was lost in the Atlantic last summer. The James Male memorial fund has already bought us five new kayaks and we are very close to having enough for the motorboat. A successful evening on the 10th would get us over the line. Discovery Centre, Winchester, Friday July 10th at 8pm (doors open at 7:30). Guitarist Michael Weston King, accompanied by multi instrumentalist Mike Cosgrave, will be performing an evening of songs by Jackie Leven and Townes van Zandt, two of the finest songwriters of the last fifty years. The performance is being organised for the QE2 Activity Centre, which is working with the family of Cheeki Rafiki sailor James Male to raise funds to buy a wheelchair accessible motorboat, in memory of James. Any help you can give in getting the word out would be very much appreciated yours Phil Oates www.QE2ActivityCentre.co.uk
