Hi fellow fans
Thought I would say a short hello as it well past my bedtime!
I discovered TGA by accident a few months back when I visited a friend of a friend's myspace ... I was immediately drawn to the background music and fell in love with it ... TGA of course.
I felt I was in Heaven when I managed to buy two of the last remaining tickets for their gig at London Astoria (a brilliant venue, soon to be demolished to make way for a new railtrack).
A week before the concert, and as my excitemnet was rising, I was asked to take a group of volunteers around my neighbourhood carol singing to raise money for charity. Without checking my schedule I volunteered. Yes you guessed it, it was the same night at TGA gig at The Astoria. I was faced with a dilemma - Christmas carol singing with a group of children raising money for local charities or TGA at the wonderful, soon to be demolished Astoria!
I guess there was no choice really ... we had a great night in the freezing cold singing our hearts out and rattling our collection cans! We collected just over £220! A great achievement for all involved.
I am now looking forward to the next TGA gig in February at the Shepherd's Bush Empire!
As some of the money raised for our Christmas carol singing is being donated to a local homeless shelter - does this count in the competition??
No harm in asking.
