Tsunami fundraiser at Kings Place


Last month 10 of us put on a night of music, animation and live drawing at Kings Place in London to raise money for Japan Tsunami Redcross Appeal and Nomadamura, (an island south from the disaster who are inviting families who`ve lost everything to come and live there, as well as funding individuals from the island to go to the affected areas and to help) www.nomadamura.net

It`s recently been announced that from ticket sales and the market we raised a total of £1685.30 HIP HIP HOORAY

The night that happened in three sections: section 1 SOLO, section 2 TWOS and THREES with animation from Betsy Dadd and Beatrice Baumgarten, and section 3 ALL TOGETHER with live drawing from Louise Phillips.

During the night people drew the musicians from a table on the stage and sold the drawings on the market

At the end we cut the power and lit candles and played acoustically as a reaction to the nuclear power disaster in Fukushima

Here is a photo diary of the night
