Dear All
last Friday at Deal the idea of a benefit
night came up and Avril and I chatted about it again last evening to try and
sort it out.
Adrian O has always been there for the music, good causes and
for everyone in need since
time immemorial so it's the right time, we thought, to think about him for a
change and the benefit to him and Sue would be best described as financial to
reflect the fact that he's unable to work and earn money.
As this e-mail will only be reaching
the contacts on my mailing list please spread the word around to other friends
at Deal and music makers who know Adrian O, who've escaped my mailing
list. Clearly we're all also thinking of t'other Adrian (Barrett) and would wish
to send him and Carole a big bunch of flowers
to express our love and affection for them both, from the same benefit night,
Friday - 1st July in Deal.
May I suggest that we use the
evening to hold a BIG
raffle and if everyone who comes along can bring a prize it could be a mammoth
raffle and I'm sure we could also sell tickets to the RMA membership in the bar
if Yvonne was willing for us to raise additional cash for the benefit night?
Secondly - for the people who know
both Adrians - we could suspend the entrance fee to regulars and ask for donations for entry
which usually means that folk musicians will dig deep into their pockets
and produce more than the usual fee of £1.50 ea or £2.00 for
listeners? For the people who don't know the Adrians it
wouldn't be fair to ask them to pay more and the usual rate will apply as their
entrance, above?
Avril will ensure that this is
announced at each folk club evening leading up to the benefit night and
with your help and contacts we should be able to pull in the crowds to support
it.
Thanks very much for your help and
if anyone can think of anything more productive than the above just shout and
we'll do it!
Carol
