R.is.E

R.is.E LogoThis time next week it will be all over, R.is.E will have just finished their second set, the winners of the silent auctions will have been announced, everyone will have their raffle prizes and there should be at least a couple of the males in the audience that are super smooooth (and I don’t mean with their chat up lines!). Hey, we will even know Monkey’s name and he will have a new home!

Those of you that are able will be able to party on into the early hours at Club Bliss, but the Memory Fest part of the evening will have wound up. The cameras will have stopped rolling and the bands will have packed away … until next year? Well, lets wait and see how successful it will have been. Wouldn’t it be great to see Memory Fest become an annual event on the calendar, raising awareness and funds through Classic Rock for Alzheimer Scotland and Dementia UK?

Remember if you are unable to make it next week, you can always leave a donation on our Just Giving page, if you are able. Every penny is appreciated.

Solo HairNicola from Solo Hair on Townhead, Kirkintilloch has given us a £15 voucher to include as one of our Raffle prizes.

This is where Cathy has her hair cut and I know she is hard to please, so they must be OK!

Mugstock 2016

Mugstock Statistics 2015No, its OK, we haven’t made a typo, we did actually mean to title this article Mugstock 2016!

You see, the organisers of this festival of music and merriment known as Mugstock 2016 have very kindly provided us with not one but two weekend tickets to their event which takes place on another Bank Holiday, 29-31 July 2016. This is a huge prize, each ticket has a face value of £75.

The image to the right shows some of the stats from last year and 2016 is set to be even bigger!

So you can still come to our Memory Fest ’16, which is taking place on this next Bank Holiday Sunday and, if you are lucky whilst you are there you can win these tickets to go to Mugstock 2016 as well!

Even if you don’t win the tickets (and only one person can win) it is seriously worth going to Mugstock for a weekend of great entertainment, check out their ticket prices.

Hairy Chest

…. Hairy Men!

Hairy Chest RequestYes, you read that correctly, we need three very hairy men that are going to be willing to have a strip torn off (well several actually) at our Memory Fest event at Club Bliss on 1 May 2016.

Do you fit the bill? Do you know someone that would be willing to help us out? Come on, its all in a good cause, its for Chairiteee! We thought we had someone already but Monkey has refused to do it at the last minute!

Hairy Chest or Hairy Back, apparently either one would be suitable for Claire to work on. Claire works at Desiree’s Nails, Tanning, Hair & Beauty and is giving up her time and providing her experience to make sure everything is carried out safely.

Send us a message if you are up for it, first come, first served (unless a really hairy bloke comes along that we could make more money out of!).

Monkey Here Again

Upside Down Monkey

Upside Down MonkeyHello, Monkey here again! You might have seen me earlier, I’m still looking for a name, one of you lucky people coming along to the Memory Fest event is going to choose one for me.

In the meantime, I am just lounging around and waiting and waiting.

I wonder what my name will be, I hope it’s something sexy. ‘Cos I am sexy, don’t you think? Go on, admit it, you think I am don’t you?

By the way, did you know? As well as the the £42 that the person who picks my name gets … they also get to take me home with them too. Can you believe that? I can’t wait to see where I will be living. I hope it’s somewhere nice, with someone nice.

Hope you’ve bought your tickets, have you bought them? They are available you know. Cathy and Stephen are selling them. Claire and Mo have got some to sell. Lisa is also selling them and Carol, nearly forgot about Carol (how could I forget about Carol?). Oh, you can also buy them at Bar Bliss too, and on-line. Loads of places, so you really have no excuse .. remember you have to be there to be in with a chance of taking me home!

Well, I’m off to bed now. It’s tiring all this hanging around upside down. See you soon!

Wedding Video Auction

As I teased on Facebook earlier this week, we can now confirm that Memory Fest have been given a fantastic item to help us raise more money for our chosen charities, Dementia UK and Alzheimer Scotland.

BLG Video & Audio ProductionsBLG Video & Audio Productions, the people that will be filming our event, have donated one of their Wedding Packages. Not just any one of them though, their top package! The Gold Package is valued at £850 and is described as the package to choose if ‘you require every possible moment of your special day captured‘ – have a look at their website for full details (unfortunately the offer is only available to ceremonies taking place in Scotland and the North of England)

This is an amazing opportunity for a lucky couple to obtain a fantastic memento of their special day and help our great cause at the same time.

From today until 12 noon on 1st May 2016 you will be able to bid by email to win this fabulous gift. We have set up a special email address, weddingvideo@memoryfest.co.uk for you to use and we will monitor this address for the next couple of weeks to see what bids we receive. You can also make a bid on the evening of the event at Club Bliss between 7:30 pm and around 10 pm when we will make the announcement to let you know who the highest bidder has been and who has won this auction.

SPECIAL NOTE: Realising that not everyone will be getting married or will know someone getting married then BLG Video & Audio Productions will consider substituting this offer for the production of a Music Video for a Band or Solo artist, just mention this preference when you submit your bid by email or on the night at the event.

If you prefer to send you bid using the form below, then please do – you can enter as many times as you want between now and the closing date, the highest bid will be the one that wins!
