It is now just a week away from the John Snelson Memorial Ceilidh and this is one final reminder to anyone who would like to come and celebrate the life of John, former, and indeed founder member along with myself, of the ceilidh band Madcap. John played highland pipes and was an integral member of the band. Sadly he passed away earlier this year and we are holding a memorial ceilidh for him at Chorlton Irish Club on High Lane this coming Saturday 1st December 8-12.
Ring me for details 01618810936 Big thanks to Les Jones who has helped promote this event and also to St Ann's Hospice who cared for John in his final days. All proceeds will go to them. Thanks also to the Irish Club who are giving us the room without charge.

Yes Les and thanks to you and everyone else who supported this event.
John played bagpipes with MADCAP and was, with myself, a founder member of the band. We also welcomed back for the night other original members Tim Veitch on 'cello and Jo Blinkhorn on whistles.
A great night and over £600 was raised for St Ann's Hospice.
The manager of the Irish Club in Chorlton (South Manchester, England!)is keen to have more ceilidhs so if you are interested in being put on a mailing list for future events PM me with your e-mail address.
