Weller & KatZ support Exe Aid_26.9.10

Martin Weller and The BobKatZ are proud to support Exe Aid 26.9.10

A host of local bands, DJs and solo performers are preparing to present an all day music event to raise funds for Haiti and local charity, Soundwaves.

Sunday 26th September

EXMOUTH PAVILION

Esplanade, Exmouth EX8 2AZ - 01395 22247

2pm - Midnight

Admission £10

Kids with parent/guardian welcome


CRUSH UK were involved in the highly successful Haiti benefit concert at the Pavilion, Exmouth in January this year when more than £4000 was raised for the Haiti disaster appeal.

This reminded some of the successful Exe Aid concerts of the late 80's and early 90's when local musicians, of all ages and genres, came together to put on an annual event at the Pavilion.

So, it was proposed to resurrect the idea and the response has been fantastic.

The result is the Exe Aid event, this Sunday 26th September at Exmouth Pavilion.


Electric bands will perform in the hall with DJ sets between acts.

Acoustic acts will play in the bar with even more activities out on the lawn.

It will be a day for all the family to enjoy in a safe and fun environment.

CRUSH UK update September 2010

Welcome to the CRUSH UK update for September 2010


Well the gods smiled on us this summer and all the festivals and open air events we performed at were blessed with great weather.


We have already booked a few shows for 2011 and it wont take long for the schedule to fill up.

As I say every year, please contact me/us as early as possible if you want us to play at your event. The message seems to have started to get through, but it's always as well to keep mentioning it to avoid disappointment – yours and ours :)


Headline news


The Exmouth Festival keeps a rollin

Big 'Ed & The Red Rockers + E.M.P + The Beacons + The Maratones + Open mic guests will appear on Sunday 19th September in Manor Gardens, Exmouth from 2 – 6.30pm for what will almost certainly be the last show in the park this year.

The quality of performances right through the Summer has been unbelievably high and four of Exmouth's finest bands intend to keep the standard right up there.

All funds raised at the show will go towards next year's festival.

Bring a rug, picnic, umbrella, etc. and enjoy.


The return of Exe Aid

The following Sunday 26th September sees the BobKatZ on the main stage and Weller in the foyer of Exmouth Pavilion performing as part of 'Exe Aid' to raise funds for the rebuilding of Haiti and 'Soundwaves' a local music charity.

Exe Aid was started in 1985 as part if Live Aid and once again there will be a host of great bands and acts who will play all day in two parts of the venue, so all tastes will be catered for.

£10 admission is a very modest admission price for what will be an amazing day.


CRUSH UK in Oregon 2011?

It's time to sort out our visit to see the good folks of Oregon again. We were sad not to have made it this year, but there are even more good reasons to get back there next year. Terry, Don et al expect a call :)


Web stuff

www.crushuk.com is alive and kicking with new pix, videos and free downloads, plus of course our back catalogue of recordings.


'Proper Job'

CRUSH UK's recordings for the provisionally titled new album 'Proper job' are in the early stages and there are some cracking new songs about to emerge as well as a couple of re-records of old favs and some crazy covers all delivered in a Crush stylie :)


We hope to see you at our September & October shows
