You can pay to sing with the band (extra if you want to sing Summertime) at a charity jazz concert taking place at the Bull’s Head on Strand on the Green this month.

Chiswick-based jazz saxophonist is holding the one off event with proceeds going to the Macmillan Cancer Support charity a cause which is also supported by the venue.

Entry is free and an evening of jazz and blues standards are promised with funds raised by charging for requests or for the opportunity to sing on stage. Normally this will be just £5 but if you want to sing Summertime that will be £20.

Eric will be joined by guitarist Max Brittain and ex-Strand on the Green schoolboy Nigel Fox.

He organised the evening as a tribute to the Macmillan nurses and staff at Charing Cross Hospital, in particular Dr. Jonathan Dunne the plastic surgeon who managed to save one of his fingers after he was originally told it would have to be amputated when a cancerous melanoma was found. It is only because of the man’s skill that Eric is still able to play.

The event takes place on Saturday 23 October from 8.30pm to 11pm.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.
