"You're out on the street (lookin' good) And you know, deep down in your heart, that ain't right And ah, you'll never, never hear me when I cry at night No-oh, I tell myself that I can't stand the pain But when I hold you in my arms, I say it again So come on, come on, come on, come on....Take it!" Look,look.look,....here's a great opportunity to see Straight Eight and contribute to a worthy cause. On September 18th we are playing at the Charity Evening in aid of Thomley Activity Centre at Lacey Green Village Hall. Please support us on 18th September - Thomley Activity Centre enables disabled children, their families, friends, schools and groups to learn through freely exploring outdoor play and music equipment, a 1km cycle track, play rooms and a soft play area, sensory room, reading area, art and craft, IT and music activities. The evening will be introduced by Ken Bruce, the BBC Radio 2 DJ (Mr. Pop Master!). Thomley has become a lifeline to 1,504 children from 690 families. Take a look at the Thomley web site here at www.ThomleyHall.org. Proceeds raised from the charity evening will contribute to music workshops. Ticket price, including a ploughman's supper is only £15! For tickets please contact Dea Marks on 07904-103217 (email deamarks@btinternet.co.uk). We have several private gigs booked for 2010 (see 'Future Gigs'). If, like us, you think that we don't play enough public gigs why not book us? ('cos you're too cheap? ed.). e-Mail admin@StraightEight.co.uk, for information and quotations!
