Nigel Gaudion's Charity Party took place at the Chase Hotel, Ross-on-Wye 0n 24th April 2004 with proceeds going to local charities, 'Pound Farm' and 'St. Michael's Hospice'. It was a brilliantly organized and extremely enjoyable event which began with the sound of bagpipes and an amazing fire eating display. A great evening of entertainment was then provided by the extremely funny and talented, Fred Wedlock, (The Oldest Swinger in Town) with dancing to two live bands, 'The Ledge' and the fantastic, 'Mighty Pledge'. I don't know at this point how much money was actually raised but I am sure Nigel will let me know soon.

As those of you who were there will know, I took one or two photographs (342 actually). By far the majority turned out well and will be available for viewing in Nigel's Shop, Ross Records from tomorrow afternoon.

It was nice to see so many old friends, some of whom I had not seen in years. Thank you Nigel. Thanks also to Fred Wedlock. It was 'Shangri-La' to see you again and I still have not forgotten your last gig at The Chase, in 1976. The pics will be in the post tomorrow and both Tina and I look forward to the next one!
