This is a raffle for a test pressing of Thankful Villages Volume 1 by me, Darren Hayman. Only 5 test pressings were made for this release and this is my copy. I will also include a CD of the album. I have hand-painted the sleeve on both sides in acrylic paints.

This raffle is in aid of The Social, a music venue in London. The Social is threatened with closure and urgently needs money to survive. The Social is the spiritual treehouse of Caught by the River; the release of Thankful Villages would not have been possible without Caught by the River.

Both The Social and Caught by the River tirelessly support small, beautiful things and I would be really pleased if we could save this wonderful establishment.

Every £5 gets you a ticket. The more you give the more chance you have of winning and the bigger the chance that this brilliant small venue will remain open. To include yourself in the raffle you will need to tick the box at the end of the process next to your name. This means I can view your email address so I can contact you. The winner will be picked out of a hat on Friday 22 March. I will cover the insured postage to wherever you are in the world.
