Jon Brindley

"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)."

Plus

Dan Wilde is a talented young musician hailing from the northern seaside town of Blackpool and one of the finest new song writing talents around.

The story of how MsMM started and how TCT fundraising has developed in the area (Updated 20/01/2012 by Sheila Brazier)   

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 named this “Midsummer Music Madness” because it was summer and it was definitely madness to plan a back garden event in view of England’s fickle weather!  Please see our website www.msmm.co.uk to see where this has led.

Although our plans to have a second concert the next year were curtailed because of a local objection, this proved to be the catalyst for our event to be moved to Brantingham Park, the home of our local Rugby Union club Hull Ionians – thus leading to Rugby Tackling Teenage Cancer. more... 

  
The Rotary Clubs of Hull and Barton on Humber are pleased to announce that the 2012 Humber Bridge Half Marathon and Fun Run is in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust and other local Rotary charities.

It is expected that over 2000 runners will register for the 2012 Humber Bridge Half Marathon (starting at 9.00 am) and over 700 for the Family Fun Run (starting at 9.30 am), which will take place on Sunday, June 24. The Rotary Club of Hull, which organises the event each year with invaluable help of the Rotary Club of Barton on Humber, expects record numbers and publicity for this year's event.

The organizers are very pleased to confirm that the main sponsor of this year's races is The Co-operative Family who also sponsored the 2011 event. read more...
  

  
Steve Oliver, our friend from Castle Hill kindly agreed to hold the blanket made from squares knitted by tax inspectors from Cherry Court, Hull.

The idea for the squares started during a Learning at Work demonstration by Sheila  and Elaine, earlier this year.

Learning at Work is an initiative by Unions to encourage staff to learn a new skill.  Elaine had the idea of knitting squares towards blankets to be sold/auctioned for charity.  She could not have imagined how her idea would grow as colleagues started to produce squares.

This is the third blanket which has been completed, each containing more than 142000 stitches!

Staff at Cherry Court have been enthusiastic supporters of the Teenage Cancer Trust for many years and look forward to their blanket being auctioned for the charity at a forthcoming event.
  

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....

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.

(Not a HAM concert but recommended by HAM!)
  

Imagine Loretta Lynn playing Otis Redding songs in a Seattle garage - in 1963. That is somewhere near the new territory being scouted out by country soul sensation Rachel Lyn Harrington as she heads for the hills with her 4th album, a collection of all-new, all-original, old-school country ballads, western honky tonk swing and early rock n' roll. She's wrangled up three other gals for her first full-band European tour. From Seattle, The Knock Outs are comprised of bass,drums, fiddle, and guitar. In addition to songs from the brand new record, the live show includes a set of the girls' favourite country and rockabilly covers.

Rachel has played major festivals throughout Europe and the US, and made three live appearances on the BBC's legendary Bob Harris Show. A 2011 winner in Merlefest's esteemed songwriting contest (previous winners include Gillian Welch and Tift Merritt), this is Harrington's 6th annual European tour but her first with The Knock Outs.

FOUR STARS! "Like tuning in to some obscure backwoods American radio station from sepia-tinted days of yore." Top Ten Albums of the Year. ~ The Irish Times.

'Will would like to thank all the friends who donated towards the gift presented to him on the 14th May at the Hunsley Acoustic Music 15th anniversary 'do'. It was a fabulous night and the bouzouki was a total surprise, but a very welcome gift. Thanks to all who attended and those who couldn't make it on the night and to all who have supported the club .'
