Acoustic music night 25th September

Hi everyone -just to draw your attention to an item on the calendar (front page) Roy Hill who is a West London legend - ex Strawbs and Cry No More is coming to do a gig in support of the Open House cafe in Brentford which is in danger of closing :( If you don't know already Open House is a great cafe catering for all in the local community from business people and court staff to the lonely and unemployed and everyone in between. It also mentors volunteer staff with learning  and/or other difficulties back into paid work or college places. The music will please any acoustic music lover, my husband Phil Martin is supporting Roy, and also accompanying him on some numbers and there'll be a few numbers from the amazing Brentford Belles - do contact me through the forum if you want more info - other contact details are in the piece on the front page - come and enjoy a great night out locally in aid of a worthy cause.

Hi Justin and thanks very much for doing that! Hope you can make the gig?If this goes well, we're hoping to make it a regular thing - The cafe's a lovely setting for live music; we had the Megson gig back in April and everyone who came (many of whom were non-churchy people) agreed it is a great venue and idea!Hope to see you on 25th, Helen tickets are also available from www.wegottickets.com.

I hope there weren't too many would-be gig goers wandering around looking for Somerfield so they could go behind it!
