We have already had donations so thank you very much to those who have contributed...it is gratefully appreciated.
We would love raffle prizes. We have also offers of meal for two vouchers and hair cut vouchers and are looking into other similar donations. Anyone who sells minibuses, please feel free to offer a minibus or maybe a wheel, at least! :-)

Hey Villan !
Thank you that is very kind...glad I checked on here. We are just looking into the best way to raise money from the donations of vouchers and tickets as we don't want to have a full auction on the night.
We have some tickets left but have sold a good few already...people down our way are notoriously late deciding to come out!
We usually get a full room on the night!

No problem. Whoever wins them, has to phone and reserve their seats by 2nd March 2009 otherwise, they go on general sale. You know my number.

Hoping to have a 10 track Helian Keys CD for sale re the charity by the time the gig is here. It will be around the £5-6 mark and all profits (which will be about £4) will go to the charity. Anyone who is interested please PM me for info, or for details of how to buy the CD.

We have put some new tracks from it on our Helian Keys myspace. Will add a link later as my internet it is being annoying and crashing this morning!

Hi Rockhen
Tom Lane (Radio Lincolnshire) mentioned your gig at the drill hall on Saturday afternoon and said that Helian Keys are excellent.
I hope it goes well and that the CD brings lots of dosh in for you.

Hey thanks, Villan! That is nice to know. We had a great response to our single a couple of years back so if this one does even half as well we will be pleased. Just checked and WWW are playing for a private party March 21st, the same night as that Maclaine Colsten and Saul Rose gig at Faldingworth Live...it is typical as it sounded really good. :-(
I am sure you will be booked up before very soon. Stick a link to your thread for it here if you want!

Thanks for letting us know re Tom,we all like a bit of praise! He is great at promoting our local live music scene on his show and we had an enjoyable live session there, with him, a couple of months ago.

I listened in and the show was very good.
As I told you both it came over as good as agig but more intimate.
You did yourselves proud
Really enjoyed it.

Rethinking the CD idea at the moment as we have had a few hiccups which have added to the expense of producing it. Also, redoing a couple of tracks to get it exactly how we want it...so it is in doubt whether it will be finished 'proper' although we have a draft version.
I shouldn't have spoken too soon!
A bit frustrating but I guess we will get there in the end!
Uptake re the charity night is looking promising and already we should have enough there for it to be a good evening.

Well done Rockhen :-)

I wouldn't have been able to make it as I am taxi chauffer for my daughter on a Friday night & Saturday. The timings make it a waste of time trying to get anywhere.
