Those in the UK (and perhaps beyond) will know that this past week has been our annual charitable fundraiser for Children in Need. This charity regularly raises 10's of millions of pounds for needy children whether they be poor or abused or whatever. I'm glad to say that this year I played a part in my office efforts, getting togther a scratch band of excellent musicians from amongst my colleagues, and playing a one hour set of standard covers in our staff canteen over lunch. We were pretty well received and no-one complained about the noise. The 'stage' was vaguely remeniscent of a Rush gig with the vending machines in the background. I played my trusty Mk Deluxe through my eden practise amp.

note the T'shirt I bought at the Giants dugout in SF :-) As our office can get quite rowdy (not!) we drafted in a special bouncer...

All in all, over two days of cake bakes, tombolas and so-on we managed to raise over ?2000 which our company matches so the charity will be ?4000 better off. Graeme
