News from the benefit gig frontline

Andy Nortrop is organising a benefit gig at Mr Wolfs (listed in our gigs section). He sent this email over with an update of activities which we simply had to share:

I have been really pleased with the reaction that I have had whilst promoting the forthcoming Ashton Court Benefit gig that I am putting on.

The reaction from shop keepers and the general public has been amazing whilst distributing posters and flyers for the event. We also collected £25 at the Horseshoe gig we did last Sunday just by passing a bucket round as we publicised the forthcoming benefit.

There is obviously a real concern about the festivals future and a real feeling that the festival should remain a fixture within the Bristol community. It augers well for the continued fundraising over the next couple of months.

I will collate the monies already collected with the money we raise at
Mr Wolfs. Hope the efforts are going well...

I had one person who came up to me whilst I was distributing and take a few of my 'we love...' posters to put up themselves, luckily I had printed up a load... There's quite a few round Bristol now

Regards
Andy

Good work mate! Keep up the pressure! An example for us all :)

Now the rest of you - print out some posters and stick them up.

We Love Ashton Court!
