Thread Name: Rum & Kidney Band @ Humber Bridge 25 Do!
Subject: RE: Rum & Kidney Band @ Humber Bridge 25 Do!
Many, many thanks to you all!!

We had the music turned down twice on Saturday ... but it was still loud! (One of the BBC 'get inappropriately-dressed kiddies to do pseudo-erotic dances to loud CDs' initiatives. Or am I getting old, cynical AND prudish?)

On the Sunday, a few lads with cars with souped-up stereos were parked in the centre of the car park ... but were absolutely lovely - kept the volume down, and pointed the cars away from us, so the sound didn't carry too much.

All in all, I think the event itself was very poorly organised - a real missed opportunity. But the Hospice was delighted with our efforts - we took £130 in the bucket and, although they've not finished tallying up yet, think that the rest of it raised c.£850 due, in no small part, to our playing drawing people over.

So, well done everyone, and I hope you had as much fun as I did. Photos in 3 weeks or so, when I get back from Essex, and organise broadband.

See you next time!

Love to you all,
jill
