The Marie Curie Charity Concert 2011
On friday 30th september 2011 i held a concert to raise funds for marie curie and all money raised would be added to my just giving page to try and reach my £2000 goal,a big thank you to everyone who came on the night we raised nearly £665.29 on the night in the end so i am just under £64 short of my target,which im hoping to achieve via cd sales which you can buy at www.nigelcraft.co.uk
thanks again to all that came to the concert and those that have donated so far
On 2nd August 2011 i went into a recording studio to record an album which i have called my way,proceeds from this album which is priced at £8.50 will be added to my total on here

Fundraising information and history
my name is Nigel Craft . i'm an amatuer singer living in Ely in the U.K. and singing has always been a passion of mine. I've wanted to do something with my singing for a good cause for quite a while. last year i made a cover recording of the song 'Who Needs To Dream?' by Barry Manilow,which you can hear a 30 second version of the single here - Who needs to dream clip people were then invited to donate via this site and then i would email them the full version of the song,
I also organised a concert on 27th november 2010 which we raised nearly £900,my original total was £1000 but through sales of the single anf the success of the concert we beat the original target by around £250 and it was then i decided to increase my target to £2000 and to carry on fundraising into 2011 to reach this new target,the single is still available if you would like to donate i will forward the single to you via email,so please remember to leave your email address so i can forward you the single once you have donated
The Single was recorded and produced by Mick at Orchard Cottage Recording Studio in Willingham near Cambridge who kindly donated his services to me for free in aid of the charity,thank you Mick for all you have done for me and the amazing job you have done with the track i cant thank you enough.
If you ever need any recording or advice you can find Mick at http://www.orchardcottagestudio.co.uk
A massive thank you to David at Paris Music Limited www.parismusic.co.uk for donating the fantastic backing track for the song
