Hi folks.Just a quick enquiry, but does anyone have any connections with any bands who may consider taking part in a concert that is being planned for April 12th (Easter Sunday) at Rock City in Nottingham, to raise money and awareness for Leukaemia Research?
I was made aware of this event by Ann Picker-Spence, Joel's mum, and she is currently looking for any bands that would be interested in taking part. Of course this would be on a voluntary basis, as all the cash would be going to a very worthy cause.
In the UK today, their are sadly still many kids who don't make it through to the end of their fight with Leukaemia, and this event will also be in remembrance and in dedication too their courage and bravery that they all showed when faced with such a tough life at such a young age.
We are currently contacting bands to see what sort of response we get, obviously not all bands will be available to play on the date, but maybe we will get lucky and succeed in getting a few to give up their time and support this amazing gig.
Please get in touch via the email on this blog if you think you can help, and i will pass the info onto the good people who are arranging it.
If any of the people whom i have contacted over the last few days are reading this blog,please could you try and help out with this project. Thanks :-)

S2M talks to John Holmes on BBC Radio Nottingham
So Glen and myself made our radio debut today a@ 3.15 on the John Holmes show at BBC Radio Nottingham. The nice thing about John is that he is so easy to chat too !, and lets you just "get on with it"!. Having had a rather good hot chocolate in the foyer of the building we were ushered in and then sat just outside the studio for a few minutes before John appeared and at once began to make us feel at home, we then bimbled into the studio, took a seat and after a brief round of Rod Stewart (Maggie May!) we were into the interview!

Listen mum...we're on the Radio !

Ok,so the cars back on the road and being used as a daily driver due to the fact that i firmly believe that a use car will fair better than one thats laid up for months on end and is then expected to perform 100%...the reality is that a car that is laid up has a better chance of suffering a failure of some sort as soon as you ask it to perform at all !.....so I decided to keep her rollin' and if anything does need to be sorted then at least it will give us time to complete any nescessary work before we set off on our "little trip" !.
I've started to gather together a few items that i think would come in useful on the run like a fire extingusher,300W inverter (to power and charge all the "gadgets" that we are going to have on board),oh, and a mini fridge ! with just enough room for 4 large cans of beer....luvvly !
The team have been invited to the BBC Radio Nottingham studio's next Thursday to appear (is that correct in radio terms ?)on the John Holmes show.I have met John once before when i did a short stint on his show to talk about my last Scirocco themed charity drive "Roc Around the Clock", and i found the experience an excellent one as John is the sort of fella that you feel you have known for years and who has that ability to make you feel completely at ease almost as though you are chatting to him down at the local pub....but obviously the BBC don't serve you best mild whilst your on air !
If anyone gets the chance to tune in via terrestrial radio or via a web feed then the deatils are: The John holmes show,BBC Radio Nottingham,23rd January 2008,3.15PM (GMT).
