Sat. 28th Feb. 2009 'Music Night - Fundraiser'

We were both up early this morning and I'm already excited about tonight. Went to York for a brief visit and I found a nice top to wear.

Later in the afternoon, my Sister Patty and my Niece Dawn came over as the 'Selby Times' paper wanted a picture to accompany a piece about Dawn's fund-raising success. Ruth arrived at the same time, so she got roped into the picture too. It was fun and we're looking forward to seeing the article next week.

The Music Night - Arrived around 6p.m. to help set up the hall. By 8p.m. the hall was filling up and I found myself greeting friends and family, some who I haven't seen for ages. It was quite an emotional but really happy time. Lots of people, including us, had brought picnics, so there was a real party atmosphere.

The music was wonderful, Graham's spot was superb as usual, although the hall was quite noisy, which was a bit off-putting for him and meant he couldn't do some of his nicer ballads. John Coleman, Heather (John's partner) and Graham Metcalfe did a great set including 'Duelling Banjos', which got a huge response.

The evening was finished off by 'Hot Not Bothered' a Ceilidh Band made up of some really good friends of ours and everyone joined in the dancing.

It was a fantastic evening and we raised £1,260 for the Unit, which is a wonderful achievement.
So thanks to everyone who attended, donated or helped in any way.
