A Top Nite Off
Benefit Gig For Former Nurse To Doktor Avalanche Si Denbigh - also announced on the Official Live News Page.
NOTIFICATION: Si Denbigh Fundraiser Gig, 27th November 2016, Leeds Brudenell Club
- featuring The Membranes, Chris Catalyst + Utah Saints + SPECIAL GUESTS: NEAR METH EXPERIENCE -
In February 2016, Simon Denbigh suffered a life-changing stroke, which completely paralysed him down his left side. Following six months of physiotherapy (courtesy of the marvellous people at Chapel Allerton Hospital), Simon has finally gained the strength to be allowed home, albeit newly disabled and generally struggling to get around. In order for Si to remain in the flat he has lived in for over 30 years, it needs heavily modifying so that a person with these new needs is able to get around it easily so as to assert his independence. Anyone who knows Simon will be aware of his keenness for independence!
The main aim of this gig is to raise enough money to pay for a fully-kitted out wetroom to replace his current bathrooom, which will allow him to shower independently and do all the things that a proper wet room allows you to do instead of a regular bathroom... We're sure you can fill in the blanks. The quote for this is between £4000 and £5000. (As soon as you put 'disabled' into the request, it seems to add about 50% to the quote.) If there's any extra money left over, it will go into modernising his kitchen, allowing him to cook and clean it more easily.
None of the performers or crew at this gig will be receiving payment for this gig. The Membranes are Manchester's premier post-punk underground group, specialising in thought-provoking and artful energies. Fronted by creative powerhouse John Robb, the band will have just finished a week of dates with The Sisters Of Mercy, and have received rave reviews for their latest album Dark Matter/Dark Energy.
Chris Catalyst from The Sisters Of Mercy, Eureka Machines, Ugly Kid Joe and The Ginger Wildheart Band will be opening the show with an acoustic set. Suggested donation on the door of £10. There will also be merch to buy, some March Violets rarities and other bits. There will be no advance tickets for this gig. Get down early.
Can't make it? Please consider a donation in lieu - send via paypal to si@evilbaby.com - more here and here @The Heartland Forums.
UPDATE
The evening was a full success and reached the envisaged goal. Quote Chris Catalyst @Twitter:
Many people came to a fantastic evening and raised enough money to significantly change the life of someone we consider family. Thank you. X
Eventual further upcoming developments will be listed here as usual and as soon as we get aware of them.
Updates are also available either here or in
Sisters Chat at the Heartland Forums
or (in German) at Poison Door Forum...
Anyway, we recommend you keep an eye on what's INCOMING ... ;-) ... and on The Sisters of Mercy's Official Live News Page ...
