PREVIOUS CONCERTS
Since my first concert promotion – an open-air 1-day concert in the Vale Castle in Guernsey in 1978 – over the years I have promoted, either on a sole or joint basis, at a variety of different venues either for a number of years or just as one-offs.
For many people I am most associated with the Farncombe Music Club concerts at St. John’s Church in Farncombe which I ran for over 15 years until November 2022. These concerts generated over £100,000 for different, mainly local, charities and to support overseas development charities and Disasters Emergency Committee appeals.
I am forever grateful for all the support I have received from so many over the years at the many venues where I have promoted.
