Local Stars Come Out for Tsunami Appeal Concert

Venue: Stantonbury Theatre

Date: Sunday 23 January 2005

Tickets: only £5

Box Office: 01908 324422

Doors: 6-45pm - 10pm finish

Stars, including local heroes The Blues Collective, MK Dons striker and soul stylist Malvin Kamara, and The Will Snap band are staging a major concert to raise money to help orphans of the Tsunami disaster. The event has been organized by Lee Scriven on behalf of the MK Dons Supporters Club.

The great night out for a good cause is on Sunday, 23rd January 2005 at Stantonbury Theatre in Milton Keynes. Tickets are expected to sell out fast and they are priced at £5. The box office is on: 01908 324422

The evening will also feature appearances by fm103 Horizon's Trevor Marshall, sharing a stage for the first time with breakfast rival BBC Three Counties' Big George Webley as well as Pete Winkelman, comedians and singers and some surprises on the night.

All money raised will go to the Milton Keynes based HOMSA (Hope Outreach Ministries South Asia) aid agency, led by MK GP Dr Sam Muthuvelo who has been operating an orphanage in Navalddy in Sri Lanka for more than 6 years.

Sadly both the village and the orphanage were wiped out on Boxing Day by the Indian Ocean tsunami. This is a very poor rural community, part of the deprived town area of Mullaiteevu which is twinned with MK because of its similar size population. The MK Dons Supporters Association is launching a long term appeal to rebuild this shattered community.

Everybody concerned is donating their services free of charge.
