CHARITY RAFFLE / CALSONIC GIG 8/4/2005

(click to enlarge)

Hi all,

As usual, most of what I do these days is centered around Micky. It was at the Jeff Beck gig last June (Bristol Colston Hall), I went along with Micky, George, Tracy and John Phillips that the name Amy Wadge first became known to us. A subsequent gig in Swansea and a conversation with her led to the Calsonic gig on April 8th. As all of my "promotions" always include the common denominator - Micky Jones - it seemed logical to include The Valves. During the advertising of the gig, (along with a good friend - Vanessa), shops in Swansea, Carmarthen, Gorseinon and Llanelli were *persuaded" to contribute to the raffle and the nights first prize will be the Encore guitar / Humbucker pick-up (as being played by Micky in the photo, prior to The Muffins gig at Narbeth where he made a guest appearance).

It was planned to be used during The Valves set at Calsonic by Micky, but sadly as we are all aware this will now not happen. Hopefully if Micky's situation improves, George will play, instead of The Valves, with his new band The Spectaculars and hopefully will also use the guitar during their set. Gavin and myself will record the gig for future release, so ....at £1 per ticket, for the chance of owning a guitar used by Micky and George, is this an opportunity / chance of a lifetime or what ...

As always, all the money goes to the hospitals which have worked so hard to lengthen the life of and lengthen our enjoyment of being able to listen to The Legend he is.

My email address is :- phil@pardoe10.freeserve.co.uk I will email you back with your ticket number and my address for you to send your money. Be lucky.

Many thanks and best wishes to you all ...phil
