Charity gig at the Marshall factory - Martin Turners Wishbone Ash

[EvilLordJuju]

A mate of mine is putting on a charity gig in aid of the sendai earthquake fund.

It is at the Marshall factory in Bletchley, Milton Keynes (they have a theatre on site)

It features three bands - Martin Turners Wishbone Ash, Stray and Motherlode - all classic rock kind of acts with some great bassplayers. Plus it is at Marshalls... which is a great place to see.

There is an auction too - a Marshall amp,  etc, but the best thing is a chance to roadie for Uriah Heep on a European gig!!! there are loads more items not listed on the site.

Anyway, the date is Sunday 22nd May, tickets are £20 each, and it looks to be a great night.

Please publicise this event as much as possible - feel free to copy and paste this message far and wide - whatever other guitar forums you frequent. The Japanese are still in a bad way, plus it promises to be a great gig

Is that a prize?  

Arrive earliest at the venue.
Wreck your back on all the heavy amps and speakers.
Eat lousy food
Get bored stiff all day (if you're lucky you get to polish the guitars. But don't actually dare to play them!)
When the gig is over -and the after party starts- you can go back wreck your back again to put the gear back in the truck
You're the last to leave.
Get in the truck and drive 500 kilometers to the next gig


And you have to pay to do this?

Weren't Wishbone Ash Orange amp players in their heyday?

Well, i'm guessing you could slack off all day, play their guitars, steal plectrums and eat/drink the rider. What they gonna do? sack you? 

I believe flights from the UK are part of it too (but don't quote me) so it might not be so bad.

Seriously though, if anyone wants to bid on this (without attending the event), it might be possible - let me know and i'll put you in touch with the right people.
