Just to let you know that I will be playing again at Marias el Nautico on Saturday 14th July.

Just an update on how things went at my charity event at Marias restaurant last Saturday 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 120 euros, 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, but I cant match the donations this time. 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.

Ok all you forum members, would you help me raise a little money for K9 this Saturday , 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!) . 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.

Good luck with the event this Saturday, hope you get lots of people showing up.

Would love to have been there but unfortunately the airlines are asking silly money for flights from the UK at the moment ( even Ryanair).

You're welcome Will. I will come if I possibly can, but our youngest is flying in tomorrow evening so might be difficult.

Come on guys, help Will raise some money for the doggies. He's performed for 2 Saturday nights now for nothing. How many entertainers would do that?

If you can't be there either because you're doing something else, or you're in the UK, pm him for details and you can send a donation by paypal.

Don't forget to tell him what you'd like him to play though!

How did the night go? what was raised?

Thanks for asking, It's nice to know someone is interested !

In total over the two nights I raised about 220 euros. Not a lot but if you stop to think at 50 cents a song that's a lot of playing, to be fair a lot of people gave more that the 50 cents asked for and several forum members made a donation by PayPal but it still took about 4 hours of non stop playing each night to get through the requests.

What really disappointed me was that only ONE, yes that's right only ONE, forum member turned up to lend a little support and I don't really know whether to bother again, I have to admit to feeling a little hurt after all there was nothing in this for me except I wanted to do something in return for the effort K9 make with us.
again thanks for asking

It is a shame that more forum support was not there. You did manage to raise money for K9 which will help them. I don't live in Tenerife but I do take a interest in things that go on there. Well done Will and it can't have been easy doing all that blowing of the saxophone.:c2:

Well done in raising this money for K9, I'm sure the charity is very grateful and you deserve a' Very Well Done ' for your efforts. Don't be disheartened by lack of numbers, people lead very busy lives and many forum members are in business themselves remember, and free time must be very limited even on a Saturday evening.

I'm in the UK but did make a small donation via the paypal a/c you PM'd me, maybe if you put it on here a few more members may yet respond.

In the meantime you can be proud, it was a very fine gesture on your part.
