Hi everyone :) I organised a fundraising gig with Nick Lowe back in April –some of you may have been there. We raised 6k for projects at St Paul’s church including the community café and I’ve now set up my own company organising and promoting gigs/events. All of the ones I put on at St Paul’s Church will have an element of fundraising for local good causes (occasionally national ones) and I would really love it if any local businesses could donate raffle prizes, and of course you’re all welcome to come to any of the shows! For full details of the artists etc, just google my company, Helen Martin Productions (I hope I’m allowed to say this without my post being deleted!) These are the events/causes so far- all offers of raffle prizes, large and small very gratefully received ☺ 16th October – WaterAid ceilidh/barn dance –proceeds including raffle to WaterAid – part of an international network of these events talking place on the same day! See WaterAid’s website or mine for more details. 4th November Dana Gillespie – queen of the blues comes to Brentford with her 6 piece London Blues Band. Support from Phil Martin and the Brentford Blues Combo– share of the proceeds going to the Musical Museum and  Brentford Christmas Lights 12th November Sean (doctor) Millar with Phil Martin and Jim Walker –original acoustic music – raffle beneficiary tbc, but possibly the mayor of Hounslow’s good causes 4th December The Bitter Springs with special guests Band of Holy Joy and former Kitchens of Distinction frontman Patrick Fitzgerald – raffle for Hounslow Youth Counselling Service who are organising the raffle very efficiently with printed books and everything! We have some prizes already for this one including an England football shirt signed by the team. Looking forward to January, we’re going to have The Jetsonics – raffle for Brentford Toy Library and John Otway in February – date and raffle recipient yet to be decided! Any questions or suggestions,  do contact me through this site (or mine), Helen
