Hi There,
Thanks to everyone who came to ‘Ghost of Electricity’ gig on Sunday 4th October at The Kings Arms.
It was a great day and probably one of the best!
We raised enough money to get SSD to its yearly target of £1000 to be given away to the charity of our choice, this year being Chatsworth High School.
Tony and I were waiting most of the day for something to go wrong or hold us up in some way or another…..but it didn’t.
We were ready to start on time, 10 mins in fact but because of tradition we decided not to start until we were 10mins over.
That made us feel normal again and the day would bring amps not working, strings snapping, sound loss, mic leads crackling, DI boxes going missing and leaking roof tiles…..but no!
Everything happened with a calmness of a meditation.
ALL performers were professional, courteous and damn right great!
The sound was great, the lighting was great (thanks Ken) and the audience was great!
Tony Thornborough turned up to film the event even though his own camera was at the Doctors (thanks Tony, whose was the camera by the way?)
Everyone had a great time!
See you all in March……..
Ian & Tony
It is with great sadness that SSD is saluting one of our artists for the last time.
Vinnie Kavanagh passed away on Sunday 6th September at St Anne’s hospice in Little Hulton. Vinnie had suffered for quite some time but always managed to perform for SSD.
Thanks Vinnie
God bless
RIP
If you wish to perform at a SSD event please email salfordsalutesdylan@yahoo.co.uk and leave us some info about yourself and any links to where we can hear or see you play.
Thanks,
Ian & Tony...
