Drum Festival

[timloudon]

Hello there folks.

The drummer in my band (Paul from Electro Music in Doncaster - you may have met him) has organised a drum festival for Sunday April the 11th at the State Club in Gainsborough. Very recently Mick Yates, his best friend and fellow drummer, past away sadly leaving a widow and young son. All of the proceeds will go to a trust fund for for Mick's son.

I thought I should spread the word for my good friend, but also realised that a lot of you might be interested in the event.

Paul has got in a very impressive list of drummers for the event:
[list]
[*]Steve White (Paul Weller, The Style Council, Ian Dury, The Players, The Who, Trio Valore, Oasis)
[*]Karl Brazil (Robbie Williams, Leona Lewis, Feeder, Elton John, Lionel Ritchie, Lemar, James Blunt)
[*]Bobby Arechiga (Strongheart, John Parr, Journey)
[*]Ian West (S Club, Peter Kay, Kenny Thomas, Doncaster Jazz Orchestra)
[*]Errol Rollins (Ruby Turner, Human League, Dennis Rollins' Badbone & Co, Dina Carroll, Erroll Brown, Hot Chocolate, Doncaster Jazz Orchestra)
[*]Dean Cousins (UK's number 1 Rush tribute band Bravado)

I'll be there for certain, so if you're coming down let me know and we can form some kind of bass playing collective... I know how much we like doing that on here!

Many thanks guys, hope to see you there.

Tim.
