Hello good people. The vision and fund raising for the music centre in Zambia is building momentum and since March 2011, Music Earth Rise has been hosting monthly events at The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon which have helped raise a total £4,231.56 funds to date. It seems a long time ago since both Val and I took flight with a case full of calculators for delivery to Mr Mulenga in Mukuni Village, with my guitar in tow! Looking through the photos it brings back the warmth and energy of a magnificent country where optimism thrives in adverse conditions.

We are now working towards a big event to raise the rest of the funds to build the Music Centre. ‘SAVE THE DATE’ – Sat 29th October @ The Bush Hall, 310 Uxbridge Rd, Shepherds Bush, London. Announcements coming very soon and ticket sales scheduled for release on the 6th September 2011.

The next Betsey Trotwood gig is on the 6th September  2011 – see  www.musicearthrise.com

Turn up, Tune in, say hello >
