Event information

Come and join us for an informal, fun pre-Christmas night of music and song raising money for research into a cure for Parkinson's Disease, ALS (MND) and PSP on behalf of the Light of Day Foundation, a wonderful charity started by New Jersey music manager Bob Benjamin, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's when he was just 38 years old.
This year’s line-up features, from New Jersey USA, Joe D’Urso (www.jdcaravan.com), James Maddock (http://jamesmaddock.net/ ), now New York City, USA (but originally a local lad from Countesthorpe!), New Jersey duo Williams Honor (https://www.williamshonor.com/ ), Gilmorton’s own Sally Barker (https://sallybarker.co.uk/ ), local legend Jersey Budd, and more support from Tom Brooksby, Rob Dye and Micky Kemp.
The format is an acoustic “Musicians in the Round”, where each artist takes it in turns to perform. There will be a wide selection of music – some songs you will know, some you may not (yet!) but are sure to love.
All proceed from both ticket sales and the bar will go to the charity.
Do come and join us for what will be a lovely evening of acoustic music - mince pie and cracker included!
The annual tradition of Light of Day Europe began in 2007 with the Foundation’s President Joe D’Urso bringing the power of LOD overseas.
“16 years ago we set out to bring Light of Day to the great music fans across Europe, and I could not be more excited to be back again this year alongside James, Gordon, Reagan and Rob” said D’Urso. “I have a deep belief that one day, be it this coming year or down the line, one of the brilliant scientists that is supported by the whole Parkinson's disease community will find a cure. I am sure Bob Benjamin, my friend and longtime music manager, could never have dreamed that one little show would become global.”
