"My songs might well take you to new places and after the feeling that brings the creation of a song I want to recreate the atmosphere and spark of that moment… I have a new album, The Missing Emotion recorded with my voice, my acoustic guitar and the double bass of James Budden, then layered with other instruments played by myself (with the notable exception of Steve Wickham on the fiddle)."

| Beverley Brass Band Concert in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust |
A Big Thank You From The Band!

A Big thank you to all who attended the Beverley Brass Band Christmas Concert at Swanland Village Hall on Saturday 10th December. What a night! And with your help we raised £321.18 for the brand new TCT ward at Castle Hill Hospital!

An evening with TCT on 13/10/11 |
The Msmm.org gang joined other TCT fund-raisers at Hull College to get an update on the Castle Hill TCT Unit. It is, as you are aware, a little behind schedule but the good news is that it should be fully operational by the end of this year!

Already 150 teenagers have benefited from the unit which is costing £220,000 just to open. There will also be ongoing costs which means that it is vital that we all keep on raising funds for TCT.
Presentations were given by Julie Watson, Lead Nurse at the unit (above left), Abby Batchelor, Regional Fund raising Manager (TCT) Yorks & Humbs (centre) and by Nick Massey (right) who told us his own experiences of initially the lack of a unit near Hull and the benefits the new TCT unit has already brought to him as a patient.

| Our Artists |
Well they are not really 'ours' but the bands and singers have been good enough to come along to HAM evenings to entertain us, or have supported us at MsMM concerts.
So, as a thank you, we thought we would give them a bit of extra space on our web site. We hope you like the new pages for our fantastic artists.

| Find out about Midsummer Music Madness |
It seems a long time since June 2002 when we had our first gig in the garden, hoping our friends would enjoy our acoustic music concert, and raising “a bit” of money for the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT).
We were aware at a very early stage of the evening on 29th June 2002 that this was really special. Our vicar, who was in charge of the weather, wrote in the Parish magazine of the event and how proud he was to be there and living in North Ferriby. Find out more....

| Rugby Tackling Teenage Cancer (RTTC) |
On 13th January 2008 Rugby Tackling Teenage Cancer was launched in some style at the KC Stadium.

|
RTTC evolved from MsMM's enforced move from the back garden to Brantingham Park, the home of our local Rugby Union club, Hull Ionians.
Quite simply it is the idea of replicating what we are doing locally with MsMM around the country via other rugby grounds.
Please visit our sister site www.rugbyttc.org for more information....
