Another Great Goostrey Evening In Aid Of St. Luke’s Hospice, Winsford

We played our third 2011 concert on Saturday 26th November at Goostrey Village Hall to a full house.  Charlie Bentley was back with us for this performance where the audience and the band all had an excellent time.   The crowning glory for the evening was that we raised another £463 for St. Luke’s Hospice, Winsford and that makes the GRAND TOTAL £8,188.38.   Mart keeps saying we have reached a lovely fulfillment of life in playing our brand of music, making people happy and at the same time helping someone who is less fortunate than we are.  Next years dates are already booked at the hall starting with 9th March 2012.
