Show 19th May 2011
« on: May 20, 2011, 01:36:44 PM »
Hi,

According to my twitter feed, John Macusker  said that he done a charity event with Mark and the band last night.  It was organised by Mariella Frostrup and I wondered if any of you peeps know anything about it?

Laters All,

Here it is, straight from the news section at guyfletcher.co.uk:

"Last night Mark, myself and a small band comprising John McCusker, Luke Brighty and Danny Thompson played a private fundraising event for a charity set up three years ago by Mark's (and mine) long term friend Mariella Frostrup. The charity called The Gender Rights and Equality Action Trust - GREAT - aims at fostering gender equality and raising awareness and funds to support grass roots gender equality projects in Africa and beyond. The GREAT Initiative works in partnership with Femmes Africa Solidarit

I wonder who the invited guests were. Will we ever hear something about the show from someone who was there? Probably not... Nothing in the news either as far as I can see. Luckily enough Guy gave us something, although it would be nice to see some pictures :)

For further info and pictures I suggest visiting gettyimages.com, searching for the keyword "Corinthia" within pictures which have been shot yesterday. And I have to tell the ladies, that (unfortunately) MK's face is not amongst the pictures which seem to be made during the reception only.

As I posted in the other "no news is..." thread, George Clooney and Nick Clegg were there. "Nick who?" I hear you ask!

George who?  ;D

Ooohhh what a pity that there weren't pictures of Mark!  :'(

Whaauww it is great that somebody payed so much money for the guitar, .....well I better say, .... it is great that he/she can afford to pay so much!  ;)

With a charity of their friend, the money sure will be used for good projects, that is important!
