On 12th February 2005 there was a 3 band charity night in aid
of the Project Trust charity.
£510 was raised on the night
Another £140 was pledged by
Blue on Black, a
sensational blues rock band from Cornwall.
Blue on Black later
played at Wilbarston and we hope to get them back many times.
The ticket prices, raffle and
Blue on Black
donation combined to raise £650, so it was a fantastic success. The money has
been sent to Project Trust, a charity which is sending me to teach English in
Thailand for a whole year in August. It aims to provide school leavers with an
experience of living in a completely different culture, as well as benefiting
the education of the people within the community. Thank you for The Loud
Promotions for the support and to everyone contributed with this project. Rose
