Gigbeth 2008:another failure or another success?Was it both?What are your thoughts a few months on?

I have resisted the temptation to put my thoughts on Gigbeth 2008 down as I didn’t attend any part of it. I was hoping to hear all the stories, read up on the reviews and look at the pictures but to be honest there hasn’t been much to look at. Perhaps I haven’t looked very far.

Was it a another failure or another success, how do you define failure, how do you define success? Was it a failure and also a success? How was Gigbeth for you? What impact has Gigbeth had? How do you measure an event’s success?

This is the only photo sent in to the Music Network during the event from a member of the public, was it really all that bad?

I don’t think it was. Have a look at this http://www.davepiper.org.uk/music/gigbeth08/gigbethmainlogotilt/

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

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.
