Its that time of the year again and following the fantastic success of the previous 2 years and last year where we specifically rasied £5,050 for Northampton General Hospital Paddington Ward (Children Heart Specialist Ward) we have decided to do it all again!!

This year, I have again agreed to split the money 50/50 between Paddington Ward and the Disney Ward (Childrens Cancer Ward), all based at Northampton General Hospital. I will also be making a donation to Birmingham St Mary's Hospice http://www.bsmh.org.uk/ who do a fantastic job with looking after Cancer patients, in memory of Tyron Coles Father who unfortunately lost his battle agains cancer in January of this year

The Old White Hart will again be the venue for this fantastic day and headlining this year at around 8:30pm will be Northamptons very own WHITEROOM. These guys are guaranteed to have you up off your seat dancing and singing the night away.

This years Lineup::
Iain Watson – The youngest performer of the show, at just 18, Iain’s original and unique take on acoustic covers will keep you inspired and entertained.
Jordan Herbert – Up and coming young musicians, just released an album, with music ranging from classic covers, swing to rap!! These boys are ones to be watched!
Hana Bushnell Trio – A superbly uplifting funky/reggae style act, again local and fresh doing originals and superb covers
Scott Booth – Charity Band Day regular and uniquely talented musician. If you haven’t seen him yet you have missed out!!!
Tim Winstone – Cheeky local singer songwriter playing acoustic covers and guaranteed to entertain the crowds
WHITEROOOM – Headlining, Northampton’s very own and quite simply, the best rock/indie cover band, great musicians, great tunes


We will hopefully hae a few local celebrities turning up to show their support at some point in the afternoon.

For those who don't know, young Olivia Beales, daughter of Bish & Lyn Beales was the inspiration behind me organising the first event in 2010 when she had to undertake open heart surgery at the age of 3 months old last March 2010.

Not withstanding the fact that she is now a beautiful, liveley 2 year old, we have all decided to continue our campaign to help raise money for the hospital.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.

The Paddington Ward are struggling to get new equipment and in order ot get everything they need, they require about £100k. There is no doubt that we can't take much of a bite out of this total, but with continued effort and contribution from the public and events like this, we can slowly chip away at this figure until all the required equipment is obtained. this has got to be done one step at a time. Following my 2 personal years of fundraising and all the efforts of every other fundraiser out there, we are creeping ever so much closer to the target.

I would be massively grateful that even if you can't make this event, that you invite your friends and tell people about it as without the vlaued support of you guys, we can't make the change to the childrens lives that they deserve. Please also remember absolutley 100% of everything made and donated will go directly to lcoal children at Northampton General Hospital.

We are also looking for any raffle and auction prizes which we can get hold of and donated so we can raffle and auction them off on the day os if anyone has any they would like to donate, then please contact me on 07921 560252. We had some amazing help from local companies over the past few years and hope we can continue obtaining their support.

Last year the raffle and auction alone made over £2,500.00 which is fantastic.
We all ready have signed England football tops from Wayne Rooney, SIgned limited edition Rugby prints, Nobby Stiles signed photographs, signed cook books, Force India F1 Signed shirt, Suzuki signed shirt, flowers donated by Cotton Buds to name a few.

Whats left to say apart from spread the word and watch this space for more information and I look forward to seeing you on the day.

Many Thanks and thank you so much for your donation
