Leicestershire's Fundraising Concert

The fund raising event was a big success, with over £1,000 donated to the Children in Need appeal. A big thanks to the performers on the night who gave up their time to come and entertain the punters. And to everybody who attended and helped raise the money and make a difference.

Fishing for Compliments put in a great performance with some of the old classics, and a big finish of Proud Mary. A good performance put in by Richard (Drummer from Krisis) for providing unrehearsed percussion throughout the set.

Fresh to the scene Danielle Smyth impressed all with her unique and powerful voice. The concert was a great opportunity for her to showcase her talent and gain the experience of working with a live crowd. Watch out for her performing near you!!

The Andy Rackham Trio performed a brilliant set enjoyed by all. This semiprofessional outfit really set the tone for the quality of the songs played on the night. Look for these talented musicians entertaining in your local restaurant.

The final performance of the evening was put in by Krisis, drawing everybody feet to the dance floor, and ensuring everybody went home with smiles on their faces.

As well as performing, Krisis donated a free gig to the highest bidder of a closed auction. This was won by the organizer of another charity event of which the band will be the headlining act.

Steve, lead singer from Krisis, raised another £50 donated by his boss, to have both of his leg waxed live on stage. When asked to talk about the experience, Steve add's, 'No Comment'.

Again, thank you to all that attended, all that helped with the organization, and the team of on the night event helpers. None of it would have been possible without them.

Thank You!!

Regards

Chris
