We're doing a gig at Trebah Gardens on Friday evening in aid of Dementia UK. It's Dementia Awareness Week and the gig is to fund specialist nurses (Admiral nurses) in Cornwall. So far the lady who's organising the gig has raised £60,000 to pay for two of these nurses, as her father died of dementia so she's been through the very difficult journey.
An amphitheatre has been built at Trebah gardens and we are to be the first people to perform there, so it's very exciting. Trouble is, a lot of people are away for the bank holiday weekend, or busy, or can't afford it. It's also the same night that Kate Rusby is singing at Hall for Cornwall (dammit).
So if any of you are around on Friday 22nd, and can afford £12, we can promise pasties, a drink or two, a trip round the gardens and an hour of so of good singing. Do come and join us!

Well said! Let's hope we get a good audience. Shame to miss Kate Rusby. See you Thursday
:)
Sally - look forward to it. Both! X
Would loved to have come but are busy helping out with decorating and gardening for a family member. Mind you, being several counties to the East of you, doesn't help either! Hope it all goes well.
Would love to if I could. It sounds an ideal setting.
Addy - I wish you were nearer!
DC - no you are a bit far away - have a good weekend!
That sounds like a wonderful evening, Sue. Wish I could be there. xx
Wish you could too Rena - we are all getting excited though!
Hope all went well for your gig last night. Bet it feels good to be singing again?
Hi FP, just stopped by to see what you're up to!
I hope the 'gig' went well and you had a good turnout.
