20/03/08 ..............Supporters Dig Deep for Charity Accoustic Night A CHARITY Acoustic Night, organised by a group of young Thame
musicians and their friends, was a great success and raised a
substantial amount of money to support the work of Christian Aid
and CAFOD in tackling poverty. Wilber, a BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards Finalist, performed superbly,
including one lilting number on a twelve-string guitar. Over 80 people attended the event, held at the Thame Barns Centre last Saturday, March 15, helping to raise overall £290.
Christian Aid Week will take place from 11-17 May 2008. Please give generously. By James Buchanan
Eddie & The Hot Rods To 'Hobble On The Cobbles' - Local Bands Invited To Share The Bill STILL riding high on the back of the success of last year's free,
live-music festival, "Hobble on the Cobbles," Aylesbury
Showcase have announced details of this year's festival in August.
Mr Robb's business partner and fellow Aylesbury Showcase organiser
Dennis Hall adds: "it was always going to be a difficult
job to choose our next headline band following the massive success
and the ‘once in a lifetime’ event of last summer…
as we literally recreated history with FISH and Marillion performing
“Market Square Heroes” (their debut single) in Market
Square… but we feel Eddie and The Hot Rods are exciting and
popular enough to step up to the mark for 2008. Rachel Faulkner, the Aylesbury Town Centre Manager. says: “The Town Centre Partnership is delighted to be supporting Hobble on the Cobbles again in 2008. We are really lucky to be able to put on free events right in the heart of the town – I am sure this one will be another great success”. Bands wanting to perform at the festival must complete and submit the application form, which can be downloaded from the official Aylesbury Showcase website: AylesburyShowcase.co.uk Bands who complete the application form are not guaranteed a slot on the main stage, however if they are talented, exciting, hard working and dedicated, then Aylesbury Showcase will certainly listen to all entries and take each band into consideration. For more information on dates, how to get involved and how you
can help support Aylesbury Showcase and the local music scene,
