Hi Big Fella,

Read your message last night & felt for you mate, i know this has been an ongoing problem for you for a while. But it strikes me that when youre in a spot on this scene you can count the support & help of many people, totally deserved in this case mate!!

If it will keep the show on the road - or airwaves - count us in for £40 a month. Will ring you later this week and sort out sending you some sovs.

Long may your quality show stay on the air pal!!!!!!!

Thanks Alan, if you can contact Solar direct with this offer tony.monson@btinternet.com that would be fantastic, you and i go back years and as you say when there's trouble everyone rallies round, this has been a tuff twenty four hours and hard for me to swallow humble pie but so many decent folks have come through for me it's just wonderful.

Cheers Alan - regards - Mark Bicknell.

Always good to keep the rare soul going on the radio..I can offer the venue we use for Soul Or Nothing for a one off event,no cost involved,i am sure we will have many djs who would gladly come and play for free...100 tickets to keep in comfy at £10 each...Thats a £1000 towards the show..I don't really listen to the show that much but with so many getting pleasure from this i think its worthy indeed...Let me know soon as and i can sort out a date..

I was in total turmoil and despair 48 hours ago and now well YOU, all of you have turned it around, The Soul Shack certainly for now is very much here to stay thanks to you.

Regarding all pledges and offers of donations you still need to contact the station directly tony.monson@btinternet.com - i will be thanking everyone personally and via the show over the next few weeks, there will also be some great news regarding some events to follow, i should have conformation on one venue who have offered their support coming up in August, there will be no pressure or hard sell and people attending can donate if they wish to rather than be forced into it, i hate this begging bowl approach as it's not normally my style but it's never been about being my show or my ego it's simply about trying to present this music of ours the only way i know how and that's from the heart and for everyone who tunes in every Sunday, it's always been your show, unique and of a quality.I have no agenda apart from trying to play quality tunes.... thanks again for keeping me on air, it means so much. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED DIRECTLY OF ALL PLEDGES AND DONATIONS SO I CAN KEEP TRACK OF WHO SENT IT AND WHERE WE ARE UP TO WITH THIS, SOLAR WILL INFORM ME BUT I DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ANYONE WHO HAS SO KINDLY HELPED ME bicknellmark@aol.com

Hi all

The date we are planning for the London gig is 2nd September, does anyone know if there is anything else on in London on that date????? I know Boogaloo is on that night and am trying to contact Warren, but is anything else on at all???

The night will be in a 3 storey venue and tickets will be £5 in advance by cheque made payable to Solar Broadcasting Limited. The night has a working title of Save Our Soul Shack until we come up with something better.

Would any kind souls out there like to help us with the London gig? We can get dj's, we can sort the venue and have one set of equipment but what we are short of is someone to print 200 numbered tickets and a another set of decks, amp, speakers etc. If someone can help out it would be splendid.

My email address is richardpx@hotmail.com

Cheers :thumbsup:

Richard

Wow Richard you do move fast, this is so good of you, remember i don't want to step on anyones toes with this so clashing is not an option, this is a remarkable gesture and it humbles me, i do have one request DJ wise please, if Tony Smith is out there and reads this well would you sir?????DJ that is, best check with Miss Wallace but as well as a fund raising event for Solar i want it to be a good night and Tony would be nice to have on, London based, great records and an old mate, i hope this works and again it's a brilliant gesture......oh am i allowed to DJ???? lol try and stop me.

but what we are short of is someone to print 200 numbered tickets

Cheers :yes:

Richard

Richard, can't actually help with the ticket print run as such but do know a print company that will print 600 x 3 stub numbered tickets with foil security logo and your artwork/logo for about £70 (inc postage)...might even have been slightly less.

Although not exactly cheap, the reason I've mentioned it is that you can actually have them done with 2 different sets of events info so you get 2 lots of 300 tickets, seperately numbered, for each event.

I'm not planning on using tickets for the Solar Event I'm hoping to do for Mark, but if you can find somebody else who needs 300 tickets for an event you will only pay about £35 each.

P.M. me if you need any more details.

Mark, let me know if other events dates are sorted and I will check events calender to see if I can fit Bidds Solar night in before November?

Regards

Mace

I do try Mark

Hmmmm, think I may have done a wrong un using the working title of cunning stunt though as it might have given the wrong impression, so now we'll just call it Save Our Soul Shack. Just in case anyone did think it was a very late April Fools it really isnt

Well what a week that was.....everything now is very much back on track and the Soul Shack is here to stay for the time being, i've had a long chat with Tony Monson at Solar and the bottom line is due to all of your wonderful support and donations the funding problem has been solved, i can't thank everyone enough infact we have all been totally blown away including Solar with the support.

Looking forward to the possible Soul nights that may come together again in support of the show...so watch this space.

Regards and thanks - Mark Bicknell.
