And it takes an army........ to organise a charity gig! And what an army I have!!
Last night was our charity gig for Macmillan. We had 6 awesome local bands giving up their time and energy (lots of it too!) for charity. IT WAS CLASS!! The bands were all on top form and the crowd were loving every second. People won some cracking raffle prizes, had loads of fun and, most importantly, we’ve raised a lot of money for Macmillan. (Exact amounts to follow when we get our heads lifted)
It was a big build up and I was a bag of nerves in the days beforehand. It’s kind of like organising your own birthday party and then panicking that no-one will turn up. But it’s not about me, it’s about Macmillan Cancer Care. It’s about making good out of something bad. Taking action and not lying down to cancer.
The sleepless nights were all worth it. The Club was packed. The bands were on fire. The donations were rolling in. The raffle tickets were flying out.
The army marched. Our wee corner of the world has been improved just a little bit. It’s difficult to articulate how grateful and proud I am of our organising team, helpers, bands, venue, prize donators, money donators, raffle ticket buyers, gig goers.... FRIENDS. So much so that I have just spent a few minutes cuddling my amazing husband and having a wee weep.
Overwhelmed.
