The Last Resort 23/11/19 @ The Mill, Rayleigh, Essex.

The annual charity event that is The Last Resort returns to The Mill, Rayleigh, Essex this November.

(The Last Resort is actually an umbrella name for musicians from various Essex bands who are dedicated to this charitable cause)

We are once again raising money for The Lords Taverner's who do some fantastic work supporting disabled and disadvantaged children.

Our last show raised nearly £3,000 which was used to purchase sports wheelchairs for the Harlow Hurricanes.

This event takes a phenomenal amount of time and effort to arrange and rehearse and is always well attended.

This years theme is Tribute Bands.

Tickets are available here.

I think this was the first time I gigged my Fender Flea '61 J....

Ticket sales for this have been the best yet.

400 advanced sold and the venue cap is 500, so if you’re coming, buy them now!

I’ve just been informed that The Last Resort has now raised in excess of £30,000 for charity over the years it has been going. 
I have to say I’m feeling incredibly proud of what we have achieved.

Sold out!

Boom 😂

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

OMFG! What a gig!

I will post video and photo’s  in due course, but what an amazing night.

It was, enjoyed it immensely.  Have to say the Bon Jovi and Queen sets were spot on.  Well done you lot!   

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Thanks Paul. Good to know all the hard work paid off. Really weird start to the Queen set. Apparently there were no monitors switched on which is why no one apart from me was aware that the keys had started playing 🙄. Other than that, I thought we smashed it 🤘

[Paul S]

The merest of stutters.   That Precision sounded lush.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Yes, certainly did the job 👍

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

All the ticket money and donation buckets have been tallied up and we raised just under £5000. Very pleased with that, as are The Lords Taverners.

Yes, an unfortunate co-incidence 😀

[Lozz196]

Nah, they’re great, and much nicer chaps than their intimidating image suggests.

Oh yes, I'm aware of them, it's just they're more than a little bit different from out lot 😀
