Fundraiser for Evile's Mike Alexander 7 Nov- Snooty Fox

by **Sherry** on Fri Oct 16, 2009 8:16 pm

Malc Shipman, the venue owner at the Snooty Fox in Wakefield,

is in the process of organizing a gig to raise funds for the family of

Evile's bass player Mike Alexander, who died suddenly in Sweden on Oct 5th whilst on tour.

He is desperate that as Evile ( along with all of us !) cut their 'metal' teeth at the Snooty, he should do something to recognise that fact.

he already has a Metal all dayer booked in on Nov 7th and is re-jigging everything, so he can turn it into a benefit fund raiser for Mike and his family.

This will be an all day show, with possibly 10 bands in the lineup, and we need as many folks as possible to support the event.

All monies raised will be added into the memorial fund set up by the team at UK thrash.

In order for this show to be seen by as large an audience as possible, The entire event will be streamed in broadcast quality on the web, live as it happens on the day

If possible, we would like anyone who has a website, Facebook, or Myspace page, to add the code or link to the media player, so that this gig can reach a world wide audience.

More details on the line up are to come, once its all confirmed, , and i will post the code for streaming as soon as I get it.

Its Big

I'm hoping to be able to release news of the line up by Mon/ Tues

There should be some appearances by old friends, and just waiting for the headliners to confirm availability

Tony Drake has offered some exclusive Evile memorabilia for auction, real one offs, so should be cool.
