charity rock gig Sunday July 13

[geddy]

I don't post to often here, but I hope you don't mind me posting this information.

Next Sunday at the Liquid rooms there is a charity rock gig for a young 2 and a half year old lass with cystic fibrosis.
The parents and grandparents (who live up here in Edinburgh) are trying to get her a compression vest which would improve the quality of her life tremendously. You can't get them on the NHS and have to import from the USA. They cost £20,000!
There has been a few events already here in Edinburgh which have raised over £2,000!!!!
So a few bands have offered assistance by agreeing to perform next Sunday.
They include....

Wired desire, a good solid classic hard rock band from Glasgow

Heavens basement, who used to be called Roadstar/Hurricane party who are due to support Thunder on their upcoming UK tour,

Lycanthrope, a very good Edinburgh based band with an excellent frontman as well,

Later there is Chris Glen and the outfit, Chris Glen is the bassist of SAHB (sensational Alex Harvey band...if you don't know) and recently played with Michael Schenker,

Doogie White (with I believe Max Maxwell the singer in SAHB at the moment) singer for Rainbow and Malmsteen who's new cd is a blinder. The guy has an amazing voice.

All this for £10. Just pay at the door, the event starting at 3pm and going on till 10pm.
There should also be rock djs (not confirmed with venue yet but hopefully) to entertain between bands.

Cheers for reading, and if you like rock music and feel you would like to help then come along next Sunday.

Things have changed due to artist's commitments.
Both the headline acts have had to pull out due to commitments (1 of them can't fit the gig here in as he is in Germany and extra gigs have come up which he can't get away from sadly.)
However the promoter has managed to pull in a couple of bands that he knows and who are willing to give their time to helping.
1 is a young band from Glasgow called Failure to Communicate and the other are Clovenhoof who only recently got a 12 out of 12 review from Metal Hammer so no slouches there.
Due to all the problems the promoter has decided to start the event at 6pm rather than 3.
Basically still £2 a band and all going to help a young lass who needs help in her quality of life.
Sorry to anyone who may have been planning to see Chris or Doogie, they are really sorry they can't do it. However if you are a rock fan and fancy a night out helping a kid with cystic fibrosis it should still be a good night.
Thanks for taking time to read this.
