Today is a momentous day in the UK today with the Mental Health (Discrimination) Act passed, scrapping unfair legislation preventing people with mental health issues from being Company Directors, sitting on a jury or being MPs. Find out more here.  All the more reason to keep on supporting mental health charities!

And so to our latest news – here at last is our beautiful presentation cheque with a BIG UP for ace designer Patrick and Fine Art Solutions who printed it in just one day:

a £1000 cheque for Rethink Mental Illness raised at The Troubadour Club  gig in November 2012!

Time to organise a presentation and hand over the real funds too. We’ll be on Facebook and Twitter about that. Before we sign off for February, a few more thank yous are due to the great artists who sang and played for the cause – give it to them, one more time:

Black River Wild, Mathew Neel, Leslie Mendelson, Dan Beaulaurier and Rogue State.

Not forgetting thanks to our wonderful venue, their brilliant team, our fantastic volunteers and everyone who came along on the night or otherwise contributed.

We’re working on some fresh gigs now and look forward to being back with details of those very soon.
