Topic: Relay for life York 2026

Yesterday   I  took  part   in  a  fantastic  event    in   York  .The  relay  for  life 2026 .
The  event    is  for  people  and  familys   who  have  survived  or  lost freinds  or  loved  ones    to  cancer .The  event has  teams  of  people  walking  round     playing  field  for  24 hrs. Sevral  performers  had  been asked  to  proved    entertainment     for  the  day
My  friend   Kev  Jones   had  aranged  for  me  to  play .
Over  the  past  few  yrs  the  charity  has  raised    money    for Cancer   research ,
I'm  always  happy  to  take  part  in these  sort  of  events  if  I am  available  .
Here's  a   vid  of  me  playing  Bullfrog  blues  for  my  old  mates   Brian and  Chris   who  both  were   taken by  cancer  some  years   ago .

nicely done Graham. I used to love charity shows, for some reason the organizers would want to pay me which I'd turn down unless I had to travel a long way then I'd say OK give me a tenner for petrol. I'd often get the reply that everyone else wanted full payment, you cant do that for a good cause. So well done you.

Re: Relay for life York 2026

Cheers  guys  . I  always  try  to  do  a  few charity  shows  each  year  . I  remember   about  14  yrs  ago   one  of  the     big  greek   bands  who   will  remain nameless  asked   11000  euros   to play  a  charity  event   on Crete .  The  money  from  ticket  sales  would  have hardley  covered   that  and  the  venue  rental . Same  act   tried to  take  over  our  merchendise   stall  that  we  were  running   for our  Bands  Against  Poverty  charity at  another  festival . Dispicable .
