Weʼve raised £2,932 to Help save the musician Edgar Jones from eviction and flat repossession
- Funded on Sunday, 17th February 2019
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
The Stairs frontman and singer/musician Edgar Jones is to appear in court on Monday, October 22 faced with an eviction notice due to arrears of over £10,000 on his flat. This was caused by several service charge hikes when the building desperately needed repair. They're not strictly arrears but appear as such on his account and to the court.
Due to good work prospects with DJing and gigging from now into the next year he will be able to maintain payments to start working off the arrears from November. But sadly this will not be enough to halt the notice. He has only recently become fully functioning again after being diagnosed with diverticulitis and depression as a result of it. To lose his home will of course have a devastating effect on him and his family. We are hoping to raise £1500 through this campaign to convince the court of his commitment and dedication to pay off these arrears.
For each donation Edgar Jones will send a thank you CD culled from his DJing playlist.

6 years agoJust to let you all know Edgar was taken to hospital late Thursday with diverticulitus but he's on the mend and hoping to be discharged later today. A huge thank you to all the kind NHS staff at the Liverpool Royal who went above the call of duty to make his stay as comfortable as possible.

6 years agoAnother huge thank you to everyone who has donated to help Edgar. On November 1 he'll be handing over what we've raised here which will go some way to paying off his arrears. He'll then be paying the remainder off on a monthly basis. Thanks again.

6 years agoGreat news. The court granted a suspension on the eviction order today and the funds raised here went a long way towards getting that decision. A huge thank you to everyone who donated and lent their support. It really means a lot. Edgar faces a very tough repayment schedule but still has his flat.

Hi - I've enjoyed The Stairs since the early 90s. I live in Hobart, Tasmania, and have only recently heard of Edgar's plight. I trust he is ok.
