Blues/acoustic Night for Chestnut Tree House and Midwives & Parents
Support
Charity blues/acoustic
night
in aid of Chestnut Tree House and Midwives and Parents Support (MAPS)
Losing a baby at
childbirth or having a child with a life limiting illness is traumatic and it
is hard for parents and families come to terms with it. Charities such
as MAPS (Midwives and Parents Support) and Chestnut Tree House provide
tremendous practical and emotional support at crucial times in the lives of
families. MAPS was set up by Burgess Hill Midwife, Pam Parsons OBE and
Chestnut Tree House is the only children’s hospice in Sussex. They both rely
on grants and donations to continue to provide care and need financial
support. To help them continue their work there is a blues night on Saturday
16th June (doors open 7.00pm) in the Martlets Hall, Burgess Hill featuring
Kit Holmes and The Crossroads band UK to raise vital funds for both
organisations. The event is supported by the Burgess Hill Community Festival
and all profits will be going to both charities.

Kit Holmes
“Blues-driven roots with a soul sensibility”
Kit’s sultry vocals
and virtuoso guitar playing have wowed audiences across the UK. Her
music crosses many boundaries and her albums have received rave reviews in
the music and national press.
Recent concerts include: Paul McCartney’s LIPA; the Anne Frank Awards at the
BBC; a performance for Bill Bryson and Andy Kershaw and a headline show at
the International Guitar Festival of Great Britain. In 2011, Kit
released her eagerly anticipated third album, Driving into the Blue, which
features the legendary double bass player Danny Thompson, to high critical
acclaim. Expect an enthralling and energetic live performance from Kit
and her excellent band (guitar, fiddle, bass).
The Crossroads Band
UK
When you have a front
man (Stuart Barbour) who produced and co wrote albums for Alvin Stardust, and
toured with Alvin for 6 years and a trumpet player who played with
Wham, Elton John and at Live Aid you know you are in for a treat. The band
call themselves a "faith blues band" playing a mix of original
songs and also tracks from people like Blind Willie Johnson, Stevie Ray
Vaughan and Buddy Guy.
