Motivated by the loss of two friends, Brian Butterfield and Jimmy Spooner, local villagers organised a special concert at the Coot on the Tarn, Great Urswick on Friday 6th May 2011. The objective of the concert was to raise money for St Mary`s Hospice in appreciation for the superb care they have provided to all of the residents of Urswick and surrounding areas over recent years.
The concert, which featured Barrow Male Voice Choir, Jessika Gillam (saxophonist), Jessi Conway and Christopher Faulkner, was compared by John Mario. The Concert, was a resounding success and raised an amazing £3685.00.
The Village Organisers Damian Gorman, George Elwood, Edward Woodend and Martin Lloyd would sincerely like to thank everyone who supported the Concert. Special thanks go to all the local businesses and individuals (who are too numerous to mention individually), for providing sponsorship, donations and sales outlets.
Zoe Guest from St Mary’s Hospice said “St Mary’s relies heavily on the support of the local community and we cannot thank the organisers of the charity concert enough for all their hard work. To raise such a fantastic amount of money for the Hospice is greatly appreciated.”
