EAST ANGLIAN BLUEGRASS MUSIC EVENTSSadly with the death of John Pearman, (founder, promoter and organiser) of The East Anglian Bluegrass Music Events. John's wishes were that the Events & Festivals carry on. He asked myself (Phill Morley) if I would continue to run the events as I had helped him from the start, I agreed that I would and I am very honoured that he had asked me. We have now set up a comitte and we will be planning events for 2007. The committee have agreed that a percentage of the takings from each event be donated to a cancer fund.Before John died he was concerned about his bluegrass day on the 20th January 2007. I visited John on a few occassions before he died and we sorted out the 20th January 2007, although John and Richard Butcha (John's right hand man) had done the main work. John was so pleased that he had managed to book the bands hotel up, I felt happy that he was still involved.So in memory of John Pearman, please come and support one of UK's finest bluegrass events, by doing so not only will you have a great time, but you will also supporting stamping out cancer! |
