Those of you who tapped into the live music event we were holding at The Globe in Glossop last Sunday Jan 30th, will be delighted to know that we raised an incredible £5,140 for Tsunami Relief.

Currently we have the 2nd £1,000 cheque winging it's way to the DEC, there has been £350 worth of donations direct to Oxfam, and today we've sent off £750 direct to a charity 'on the ground' in Phuket, Thailand.

The remainder of the money is being added to as more comes in, and a final total with distribution of cash info and accounts will be announced soon. Which only leaves me to say a massive 'well done' to everyone involved - you made it - and I honestly have to say it is one of the best concerts I've ever been involved in - 10 hours, 2 stages, and every heart a great big beautiful heart of gold! If you'd like to catch up on who played, join the discussion or add a sponsored donation to any of the artistes who performed, please go to www.globemusic.org.
