xilddx Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) This is a charity event organised by WOMA and is a tribute to my former bandleader, Doreen Thobekile, who sadly died of cancer in June last year. I'll be playing with TGU and we'll be performing some of Doreen's album with her daughter Ingrid (ex Soul II Soul) on vocals. From the Roundhouse site ..

Marvin Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 All the best with this one mate. Anyone in the London area who doesn't attend at what is a stupendously low price for a ticket wants their bumps read. Quote
Happy Jack Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Damn! Too short notice for me, Nige, I'm booked - have an excellent gig. Quote
xilddx Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks very much gents Jack, you gigging with that leg of yours? Quote
Happy Jack Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Already have, Nige, already have. Played a charity bash before Xmas, I was in two of the six bands. Sat on a high bar stool with my leg on a lower stool, and it seemed to work OK. You'd never be able to do it ... too much bopping! Quote
