Sorry to hijack this board but it's for a good cause. I lodst my mum to cancer 4 weeks ago so we (Grifter) are going to be playing a couple fo charity gigs tonight in Exeter and this Saturday (Dec 2nd) in Plymouth with a bunch of metal/punk bands in aid of Macmillan Nurses.
Macmillan Nurses provide care and support for cancer sufferers and their families so if anyone is around come along and support and worthy cause.
Cheers

Last Friday I lost a dear person after 2 years fighting a bladder cancer and I can't help feeling shocked...
Ollie, if I lived there I'd be present. That's a very noble attitude of yours, and I hope you can raise alot more money for the cause.
Keep the struggle.

Saturday was an amazing night. All the bands played blinding sets, we had an awesome turnout and there was an amazing atmosphere. It was really touching to be thanked by so many people who had lost family and friends through cancer. It made me glad to have done this. We now have a total of £825 to donate to the charity.
