I've raised £3000 to help Tony Rivers with funeral costs for his wife Pat who died suddenlyto give him time to grieve without worrying about how to find costs.

Tony lost his wife suddenly on Sunday last. He has to find £3000 for the funeral costs. Things are very different in Spain and the Government wants the money immediately. This is a huge amount of money to raise unexpectedly. Tony has given people a lot of pleasure with his music and stories over the years and doesn't ask for anything in return. This is our chance to help him and to give him the time and space to grieve without the terrible worry and pressure of having to find a large amount of money at short notice. He is a proud man and this is why I am setting it up. Thank you
