Welcome to the CRUSH UK update for August 2010
We hope you are enjoying a fine summer
Headline news
Tonight's gig (30.7.10) at the Saddlers, Lympstone is cancelled.
Apologies for the late notice, but that's the business of music!
Weller gets to present the Youth Music 'Best Newcomer' award at Exmouth Pavilion tonight instead, so all is not lost.
Now for the good news :)
'Tis the season for festivals and fund-raising and it's always a good feeling to do what you love and help to raise money for charity into the bargain.
Clarefest, Lympstone_20.6.10
A stunning line-up of musicians played to raise money for cancer charities in the memory of Clare Millington who died of the disease in 1999.”
Paul Downes, Flaming Thistles, Topsham Rock School, Joyce Gang, CRUSH UK, Clarion Clarinet Quartet, Junkyard Angels, Broken English, A38s, Harry Dearsley and Eat The Rich put on quality performances helping to raise £2,000 on a gorgeous day in June.
Music For Life_3.7.10 @ Beer Albion FC
Weller, Adam Sweet + Perfect Strangers, Laurie Ward, Jamie Gould and Steve Graham were among the acts that played on another sunny day in Beer, Devon. More than £10,000 was raised by a big crowd that supported the day for the Teenage Cancer Trust among other causes.
'The Sherry Morning', Lympstone_25.7.10
As it turned out, the final event that has helped to raise awareness and funds for the anti slavery campaign over the last thirty two years. This cosy and friendly event held in a back garden in Lympstone has outgrown the venue and may or may not move elsewhere next year.
The Exmouth contingent feat. Nigel Challis, Laurie Ward, Becky Brooks, Malcolm Horton and the inimitable Jeff Lewis did a great job entertaining folks on yet another beautiful day.
It makes such a difference when the sun shines :)
Other stuff
All the recent shows have been most enjoyable with the hat trick of Crush gigs at the Barrel, Lansdowne and First and Last possibly three of the best we have ever played!
CRUSH UK were due to head off to Oregon in August, but circumstances have dictated otherwise. So the landscape has changed somewhat, but there's still plenty of activity to follow.
www.crushuk.com is alive and kicking with new pix and videos posted and of course our back catalogue of recordings.
We are beginning to book shows in 2011, so if you want any of the acts at your event, please get in touch.
