Mickeyboro Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My son is putting on an evening of entertainment to drum up funds for his London Marathon entry on behalf of Worldwide Cancer Research. It's in Leytonstone, London E11 on Saturday 20 January 2018. It's a re-run of one we staged five years ago for my late first wife, who said: 'Don't give me a wake, have a party and enjoy yourselves'. We made £2k for Macmillan. My band played at that, but I can't get them back together to do this one. Essentially there'll be 130 people from 30s-50s in a pub function room all up for a good time. Fee tbc, but obviously want to minimise as it will come out of the charity 'pot'. Logical, therefore, for me to look for a local band that has some affinity with the cause. Music should probably be cross-the-board pub/party crowdpleasers. Any advice or offers, please PM me. I know anything labelled 'charity' causes controversy, but I'd appreciate not using this thread for that particular debate. TBH I would love to play this, but as I said distance and a moody guitarist make it impossible. Thanks for reading... Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Plough & Harrow? We have played there loads but our lot are unlikely to want to gig in January. Look up a band called E-Cog Zero on fb they'll likely do it. Edited October 13, 2017 by Number6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Michael, give me a call, would love to do this for you. We may call ourselves a Blues band, but very lively with bags of soul. PM me if you haven't got my number (hasn't changed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hi Mick - both my covers bands are based in East London just down the road from Leytonstone. If you click on the links in my footer then you'll get an idea of line up and genre. I'm thinking the Retros would be up for doing this - if you think they might suit / and you've not already got someone else lined up then please PM me.
