There's an HUFC fundraiser taking place at
the Starlite Rooms on June 14th when HUFC photographer Steve Niblett
has organised a Mod Nite. There are two featured bands, XL5 and a band
recognised as the premier tribute to The Jam, namely The Jam DRC. A Mod
disco with tunes uniquely played on original vinyl by DJ Moon on Stick,
with sound and vision being piped into Addisons Bar too so no one misses
out. Food will be available and a BBQ is planned (weather permitting).
Steve
says 'Interest has been incredible with 200 tickets sold already.
Thanks to HUFC fans Chris Plane, Nikki Tyler and John Calandra for
spreading the word around and promoting it - and there will be more fans
helping on the night to make it a success. We've got people coming from
Lancashire, Oxfordshire, Walsall and all around the county'.
There are
plenty of prizes for the raffle including a guitar signed by Paul
Weller, signed Jam boxed sets & CD's, drumsticks, books,
Quadrophenia deluxe CD's signed by Pete Townshend, DVD's, CD's signed by
original members of Stiff Little Fingers and Mod Art by Marty Street.
(Marty will be there on the night, check out his Facebook site Cartoon
Workshop to see his work). Dont worry if you miss out on the raffle as
there are quite a few duplicate items which will be available to bid on
in a following auction.
'I really hope we can raise some funds to assist
Martin Foyle and Andy Porter on the immense challenge ahead this
season' says Steve.
If
