Hi everyone
Just to let you know that the gig went really well, if you attended - we at Faraja Support hope you had a great time. I would personally like to say a big thank you to those who made it happen and those who gave us fantastic support. These amazing people were;-

The Trustees of Faraja Support especially Sarah, Mark & Ami who helped me to find some of the amazing bands. Helen, Jill, Marian & Mike for the poster/flier dash, plus everyones involvement on the day.

Jason from Produkty for sharing his valuable knowledge on many issue and many occasions. Love the E.P! copies can be obtained via;- www.produkty.webs.com

Conor from Weekend Schemers my very own hero! for helping me with the last minute hiccups (and there were a few). This guy is full of useful contacts x

Zack from Third Time Lucky for rounding up his band at such short notice after a band had pulled out and carrying out a great performance.

The bands, The Heroes, The Pennyhangers, Mike Sole Trio, The Retro, All Systems Fail, Teenage Kicks & Primal Device

Unfortunately The Pickpockets did not attend their allotted slot, however, Primal Device lead the way in what was an amazing performance and their CD can be purchased from their website www.primaldevice.com

Other people/organisations who deserve recognition are:-

LORD'S ELECTRICAL 63 Blaby Road Leicester, for sponsoring the event, printing our posters and tickets, and using five of their branches to sell the tickets.

Morgan from- Morgan Gleave Art & Design for producing such a fabulous poster and tickets.

South Leicestershire College, Wigston for allowing three very talented media students to video and take photographs of the whole days event. These Guys are;- HARLEY, JOE & BEN, well done! we look forward to viewing the results soon.

We were also very privaledged to have Tevor Locke from Arts in Leicestershire on board (we await his review, so watch this space).

OLLIE (Conors contact) for the last minute loan of his precious drum kit.

Daryl & Anthony from the Half Time Orange, for doing a fab job with the sound system
