The Simon Cuerden Memorial Blesma All Nighter Saturday 18th January 2020
Possibly The Biggest Charity All Nighter Ever!
As you may know I ran the BLESMA charity events with Simon Cuerden before his untimely passing. When I visited him in hospital the day before he passed . I made him a promise that I intend to keep... I promised him that The Annual BLESMA Charity event would continue in his name
THE SIMON CUERDEN MEMORIAL BLESMA CHARITY ALL NIGHTER WILL TAKE PLACE ON 18th Jan 2020
The Response so far has been bloody amazing, if you notice for that weekend, Both All Nighters and Many Soul nights have either cancelled or moved their regular events away out of respect for Simons Memorial.
This Means that for once in many years or even the first time ever, the soul scene has put politics and rivalries to one side to honour a Soul Legend and to support a great cause in BLESMA The Limbless Veterans Charity.
SIMON'S other love was The Armed Forces Scooter Club ( AFSC). They also have decided to be involved with this event and have sold 250 tickets .. so in response we have booked the Main Ballroom at Swinton in addition to the 2 rooms where we normally have Swinton Nighters. This now takes the total capacity for the 3 rooms over 1100 giving it the chance to become The Biggest Northern Soul Charity All Nighter Ever! With 3 Rooms and over 40 of the countries top Djs wanting to play ..
Already we have been pledged over £3000 worth of raffle prizes.
From people and clubs such as Richard Searling, Kev Roberts, Rugby Benn Hall, Nuneaton Co Op, SCOOTOPIA, Dave Rimmer, Stockport Soul Clothing, Loake Shoes, Ady Croasdell and many private individuals, which in itself is amazing !
Imho how the soul scene has come together behind this event in such a way has been unique. I can honestly say that it would have made the Phantom Fingerer Sooo! Proud! and for the first time in many years it has made me proud to be a Soulie!
