Sister (or brother) pub to mono, we opened our doors in november 2007 after relocating from the west end to a Charles Rennie MacKintosh building in the city centre. We have quickly established ourselves as a key live venue in the city, club venue and relaxed cafe bar - "at laid-back Stereo the mood is Bohemian and refreshingly non-corporate, always something to be applauded in a city centre where so many of the eating out possibilities are clones or chains."
APNA SANGEET to reunite to RAISE FUNDS TO BUILD SHELTERS FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN IN INDIA AND SRI LANKA, second city suite 100 Sherlock Street Birmingham B5 6LT - Friday 29th May 2009
January 30, 2009
This is to inform you that after nearly 12 years apart APNA SANGEET have decided to reunite for a very big cause for one performance only to RAISE FUNDS TO BUILD SHELTERS FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN IN INDIA AND SRI LANKA
The name of the charity is BRIDGE OF LOVE TRUST UK reg. charity number 1096302 website www.bridge-of-love.org/
The charity’s focus is on Sri Lanka and to a lesser extent, South India and its main objectives are:
§ To relieve poverty, sickness and distress amongst children and widows.
§ To advance the education of children and young people who are in severe financial need by providing books, equipment and grants
This charity function will take place at second city suite 100 Sherlock Street Birmingham B5 6LT on Friday evening of 29th of May 2009 with buffet Dinner sponsored by Sukhdev Catering Services
All the original members have put their differences aside for this worthy cause which has captured our hearts and bought us together, with the common aim of raising valuable funds to help those poor, defenseless children, whose plight is the result of the fighting and war in their country. One evening of our time, promises to provide a great night of entertainment for APNA SANGEET fans, plus enables us to raise much needed funds to help the lives of those children who do not have the means of helping themselves.
Obviously, to increase the success of this event and to maximize the funds that we can raise, we need to raise the profile of this event and get as many supporters and sponsors on board. For this purpose, I would appreciate if you would consider putting yourself forward as a formal sponsor by making a contribution and if you could recommend other sponsors who would be interested in supporting, to help promote the event and its cause. I need to have all my sponsors identified ASAP in order to insure that I can include them in my publicity material.
Please please please support this worthy cause from your heart
Any support and help you can provide is welcomed and appreciated.

MAPPING PROJECT UNDERWAY

Let’s face it, anything would be welcome.
We will be launching this project at the event in Bristol on 26th Feb.

Anal Beard initially formed in 1995 to provide support for local ladcore nutjobs Sperm Ov Doom, the incentive for which was avoiding the door charge. We saved £12 but traded in our dignity.
We carried on playing, with a snowballing regularity, until October 2005. We miss each other, and the surrogate social life Anal Beard afforded, so we've decided to play a bit more.

Fran Nevrkla on Copyright Term update January 2009
January 19, 2009
| Dear Friends and Colleagues |
|
Firstly, I hope that all of you together with your loved ones had a thoroughly enjoyable and restful Christmas and New Year holiday. Now that we are all back in the fray, I thought I would drop you a line about one of the key issues currently on our agenda. As you know, our recent and very intensive political lobbying has paid off – thanks to your efforts. The video message(www.ppluk.com/fairplay) to the Prime Minister and the letters to MPs have got through. Just before Christmas, the Government announced a change of heart on copyright term. In his speech to the Creators’ Conference, Andy Burnham revealed that they have now accepted that the term should be extended in principle, although they still fall short of offering performers parity with other creators. We will continue to talk to them about moving to 95 years. Our focus is now shifting to Europe where the draft Copyright Term Directive is being debated. There are two crucial votes coming up in the European Parliament in February and March. We have already been talking to many of the MEPs (Members of the European Parliament), urging them to support us. If you would like to help further in the Fair Play for Musicians campaign, then you could write to your MEP, urging him/her to vote for the Copyright Term Directive. The main points to make are below. Just choose two or three to include in your email: |
|
|
You could also ask them if they will be supporting this Directive. We will put the names of all supportive MEPs on the PPL website. Make sure your MEP is added to the list! You can find your MEP by looking at the European Parliament website http://www.europarl.org.uk/uk_meps/MembersMain.htm. If you click on your region, you will find a list of half a dozen MEPs, all of whom represent you in Europe, with their email addresses. If you are feeling strong, send an email to each of them, and copy my colleaguedominic.mcgonigal@ppluk.com. Many thanks again for your support in this. That support is showing results and we are determined that in these final stages we get the copyright term that you deserve. Watch this space and in the meantime, on behalf of all of us here at PPL, I offer our very best wishes for 2009. Kind regards Fran |
