APPEAL FOR FUNDS

The Out of the Darkness tour emergency appeal.

Can you help?

The March dates are really essential to us in continuing to develop the OOTD project - a project that had such a successful launch in 2009 and that included 5 highly appreciated performances, a CD release, from the CD playings on Radio 3, other BBC interest (conversations about possible projects in progress), a brief but extremely encouraging mention in The Observer and invitations to play concerts in the UK and abroad.

We have made a really encouraging start - the feedback continues to be stunning - and we simply MUST keep going!!

We are, therefore, appealing for one-off sponsorship to ensure the concerts can take place. We are suggesting 3 possible rates though any gesture would be most welcome. The rates are;

  1. Quaver - 30;

  2. Crotchet - 60

  3. Minim - 100+

If you are kind enough to contribute you will be named in the programme as a sponsor. Of course, if you are able to attend any of the concerts, let us know and we will very willingly supply you seats in accordance with your contribution.

You do not need to send the funds immediately, merely to confirm your willingness to help and the amount. We will then add your name to the sponsor list in the programme and send an account in due course. It is the commitment at this stage which is critical as decisions to cancel venues will have to be made in the next week or so.

With so many thanks to you for considering helping us out with this.

And with very best wishes,

Julian
