Well if you have read this week’s Kirkintilloch Herald you will have done.
It was lovely for Cathy to receive a phone text from one of her friends and a good supporter of ours to say that we were in the paper!
Here is a photo, but please go out and buy a copy of your own to read it in full.
We can’t see it online yet, but if we spot it we will be sharing it too!
We did look around at alternative venues for Memory Fest ’17 however Club Bliss was still the venue of choice for our supporters and the bands that will be playing on the evening.
Ryan and his team have promised to look after us again this year and make it a night to remember.
But, why not look at the other events they have on? There is always something good to look forward to, they really are the go to venue for live music in Kirkintilloch.
The Scottish Pink Floyd, Clyde 1’s Michael Smith, Zander Nation, The Complete Stone Roses, George Bowie, Hells Bells are just some of the great names that have preformed or are due to perform at the Club – keep an eye out to see who will be next!
The lovely Cathy called in to have a chat with the owner of this fairly new Fast Food place on Cowgate, Kirkintilloch and came out with another Raffle Prize for Memory Fest ’17!
So, to win a meal up to the value of £10 at San Marco, you need to buy some raffle tickets at the event on 30 April 2017 at Club Bliss – and then keep your fingers crossed.
The menu looks good, and reading the reviews on Just Eat it looks like everyone agrees too.
OK, who wants a fish supper?
Not one, but two five pound gift vouchers to be used at Cafe Ghiloni’s for food and drink! Yes, that is just one of the prizes donated for our Raffle at the Memory Fest ’17 event this month.
Based at 77, Townhead, Kirkintilloch, Ghiloni’s have a sit-in cafe where you can enjoy anything from an authentic Italian coffee to a freshly prepared main meal. In addition to this, they have a take-away ice-cream parlour where you can pop–in and enjoy the treats of the main menu on the go!
We believe they also offer home delivery too. So, if you want to enjoy a warm Ghiloni’s meal in the comfort of your home, then you can now have it delivered to your door! Just phone in between 5pm and 10pm, Monday to Sunday and you can have your favourite meals brought directly to you. (Best check that the vouchers can be used for this service before you order though – why not give them a call first on 0141 775 1158?)
Although you can buy tickets local to the venue, we have also teamed up with Skiddle where you can buy on line too.
We are trying to make it as easy as possible to support the event and in turn Alzheimer Scotland.
If you are having any difficulty in getting your tickets, send us a quick message with where you are or where you could collect them from and we will see how we can help you.
We are very pleased that The Amused Owls have once again agreed to support Memory Fest and will be opening our evening of entertainment and fundraising at Club Bliss on Sunday, 30 April 2017.
For those of you that came along last year, we are sure you will remember the way they had the place rocking! We understand they have some new tunes in their set this year and we are looking forward to hearing what they are.
With Dan Welsh on Guitar and Vocals, Ross MacRae on Bass, Tom Young on Drums and John McKie on Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals we are sure they will have your feet tapping if not actually get you up on the dance floor!
Tickets for Memory Fest ’17 are now available to purchase in different ways:
In person, contact us via the websitePrices are as last year, only £5 in advance or £7.50 on the night if there are any left.
We hope demand is going to be as strong as last year, we have already had people asking to buy them, so please get in touch quickly to make sure you get yours!
The new posters arrived on Friday night and we will be distributing them for display as soon as possible.
We have a few locations for them already sorted out, however if you can display one for us, then please get in touch and we will drop one off for you.
Remember the more people that see the posters, the bigger the audience we could have at Club Bliss and the more money we can raise for Alzheimer Scotland!
Two great bands giving up their time, free of charge, for Memory Fest ’17 and performing for us on 30 April 2017 – it is going to be another great night!
To make sure that everything moves smoothly throughout the night we have decided to have someone to Compere the evening.
Many of you will have heard of Simply Mo, hopefully even seen one, or more, of his shows – well you can see him again on Sunday, 30 April 2017 at Memory Fest ’17!
We are not sure of the format yet, or whether he will have the opportunity to sing one or two tunes for us (it is going to be a busy evening) but you never know, do you?
Either way, I am sure he will make a much better job than I did last year!
Last year, we had R.is.E., this year the great band Evolution will be rocking us towards closing time. You can read more about them on their page here or why not go and ‘like’ them on their Facebook page?
The line up of the band is:
We hope to be able to get some more information about each member of the band and share that with you very soon.
