Ok all you forum members, would you help me raise a little money for K9 this Saturday (tomorrow night , yes I know its a little short notice but we are only here for a couple of weeks ) Anyway, as some of you will know Maria's Restaurant is one of my regular spots during the winter but as we are here I have asked to play there on Saturday night for NO FEE and my plan is as follows.

I will play saxophone during the evening as normal during the winter and will play requests for a voluntary donation for say 50 cents ( more if you want!) and whatever money I collect I will DOUBLE from my OWN POCKET. As I have said I will NOT be charging the restaurant a fee but if it is a good night I am sure I can persuade them to make a little donation as well.

I will play from approximately 7.00 till 10.00 and you are very welcome to dance or dine or both or just sit in the bar and listen.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE as we have a special reason for helping K9. Some of you may remember we found a little dog and K9 took him in and he is still looking for a home. I know times are hard but if you are thinking going out on Saturday night then please consider this. The restaurant is excellent as are the staff and you wont be harassed into giving money I can promise and 50 cents is not a lot even in todays financial climate.

Support me on this and I will play free of charge for any charity do you may be organizing in the future!!

For those of you who dont know Maria's restaurant it is in the El Nautico suites in Golf de Sur and has one of the best views of the sea. If you have never been there give it a go and you will not be disappointed, very spacious, beautifully laid out tabels and huge glass windows all with spectacular views to the sea.

I have included a copy of my repertoire so you will be able to see what you are letting yourself in for or you can listen to me at www.weddingsax.co.uk

I have no idea whether we will be able to fill the restaurant but it maybe a good idea to give them a call and make a booking just in case it gets busy. It would very much help the staff to know how many people to expect and there will be less chance of running out of your favourite dish. - Dont you just hate that when that happens! Marias restauraunt phone number is 922 72 71 87.

Ah! Baker Street is my all time favourite... Wish I could be there but we don't arrive until the 13th. Let me know if you set up any other way of donating. If not, do K9 have a Paypal account?

I will try to make this tomorrow night, although I am only scheduled to land at gone 6, but hopefully I will be on time.

To anyone who can make this event, you won't be disappointed. Will is a brilliant sax player, and the venue is absolutely beautiful.

Oh, no! Same story over and over again! Me and especially my husband /who was a municipal councillor/ have done so much to help stray dogs. We have worked with Dogs Trust, Robert Smith, Animal Resque, SOS Dogs and so many others to solve the huge problem with homeless dogs in our country. Sadly we are experts in this field.

Please give us a PayPal account. We will send something. It won't be much because we are moving at the moment and every penny counts. We can't be at the restaurant, but please, play one song for us. Whichever you choose. Thanx!

Just an update on how things went at my charity event at Marias restaurant last night !!!

Although not packed it was a really good night and it took me nearly 4 hours of non stop playing to get through all the requests and was nearly 11 o'clock before I finished, really shattering but so nice to see people enjoying my playing and lovely to see them dancing.

In total I raised 120euros, I know it's not a huge amount but not bad for a last minute one person event!! and my thanks to the restaurant for making a donation as well !!

My only disappoinment was as far as I can tell (and I talked to almost all the people there) not a SINGLE member of the Forum turned up, yes I know it was short notice but it would have been nice to have a little support!!

I will do the same next Saturday 14th July and please remember I don't charge the restaurant a fee so there is nothing in this for me, so I would really appreciate a little support from the forum members next week !!!!! the restaurant dont expect you all to have a full meal they are happy for you just to have a couple drinks and listen!!

Maybe if you can make it next week you could post it on here, it would be nice for me to know who is coming and to meet some of you

Well done! i know how difficult is to raise any funds at this time of year. Every penny counts and that money will make a big difference to K9 x

Would have loved to have been there as I just love the saxophone, but stuck in the rain in the UK!

Well done to you, that's quite a sum for K9 and hope you get an even better response next week. It was quite short notice for people so hoping numbers are increased next week:)
