Iʼve raised £2,280 to pay for B&Bs and fuel for our tour, having been turned down by the Arts Council. The amount has risen due to last minute gigs coming in.

Story
Great news! We have just added two more dates to our tour making it 24 in total. I have therefore had to increase our target to £2200 to cover all our expenses. We now have a gig in Wales too! Your support thus far has been overwhelming. It's deeply appreciated.
We set up a 22 date tour in England to promote our new CD, to be released at the end of March 2024, and also to perform as a new band since its inception 7 months ago.
Some venues were unable to pay a decent fee so we have supplemented those with the better paid ones. However, only two of the venues are providing accommodation. B&Bs for the rest comes to £536. Also the ever rising fuel costs are not being met. I have narrowed it down to 3 cars, totaling £1292 for the whole trip. For rehearsal space we're looking at around £150. Overall shortfall is £2000, plus £200 extra now that two more dates have been added, one of which is beyond Swansea!
We applied to the Arts Council of England for this support but were recently turned down, four weeks before the tour begins. A friend suggested I pursue financial support through JustGiving, so here we are. Please give generously whatever you can. It means a lot to the quintet and will enable us to perform in the knowledge that our expenses won't impact our fees.
Please follow us on Facebook and buy tickets for our tour from Songkick. Most of all, please donate. Thank you from Clark, Alex, Emily, James and Graham
