Hi all,

Not sure if its your thing at all but there is going to be a benefit gig on 31st January from 3pm-midnight £10 in at the Spring&Airbrake, Limelight and Katy Daly's to raise funds for the Disasters Emergency Committee, with 100% profits of the doors and all funds raised going to Haiti.

There are over 50 local bands performing, I think the lists are being prepared and being announced on https://www.belfast4haiti.com or on their twitter https://www.twitter.com/belfast4haiti and there is a group on facebook too http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=253887616903.

I thought may as well use the local thread to publicise their benefit and they have a justgiving page too. Literally in the space of a weekend they have got over 3000 followers on facebook and were on the radio this evening and are featured in an article in the guardian.

If you know of anyone that wants to give raffle prizes or provide any help get in touch with the guys and gals. Its great to see people getting off their a*s*s*e*s to help.

OK, Public appeal message over!! :o
