Story
Murray Calder is one of those uniquely brilliant souls: universally loved and respected, with seemingly unlimited brilliant thoughts and kind words, wrapped up in a curious mind, coupled with a discerning taste and an encyclopedic knowledge of beats and cuts. Which makes the situation he - and his family - find themselves in all the more devastating.
So if like many of us you're feeling helpless, frustrated and want to say fuck you to cancer in a way that feels 'Murray', (and to build on the amazing fundraising his sister Lynsey has done with her recent challenge), donate to Maggie's here. (The one in Edinburgh has been and continues to be there for Murray, Emma & Sorcha but they're all amazing, and sadly all of us probably know why.)
Then when you do your wee message after you donate, put details of a track (artist and title please) that you love and think he would too. (There's no genre off limits here, as The Captain would tell you, there are many routes to steer the good ship Strut safely to the shore...) And if you just want to donate, that's awesome too.
When we hit our target, we'll have an all killer no filler Murray themed set - and as we all know, the man loves a playlist, especially a themed one - so we'll put all the tunes together and share it. Then he can sit back, listen and then no doubt unable to help himself, turn them into one of his mercurial mixes and blow our minds, because, well, Murray.
**UPDATE: thanks to you utterly wonderful bunch of beautiful humans, we now have over £5k for Maggie's and the most amazing playlist for Murray which is being updated as often as more of you glorious souls donate. Let's keep it going for Maggie's and Murray!**
