I was hesitant about posting this but Kirsty said to do so, so here goes

I've had some PM's asking me about a CD I did for a fundraising site on Friday - the charity is called Louie's New Legs and it's trying to raise £20,000 so a little boy who was in our Grace's class at school can get an operation which will enable him to walk for the first time.  I didn't want to come back on here and immediately ask people for money which is why it hasn't been advertised on Soul Source.  The link to the fundraising page is below if you'd like to have a look, and you can see all of the donations on the right hand side.  The CD has some stuff on there that nobody else has got and three or four extremely in demand tracks like the alternate Crazy Baby and Just Like The Weather.  The rest are all in public domain before anyone accuses me of stealing their tracks.

This is the track listing should anyone be interested, they are £11 (£1 is postage) no fancy sleeves or anything, all of the money is going to the charity above and we've already donated over £1500 so far by selling records, so these were just an idea I had to keep the momentum going, I announced them on facebook on Friday and was able to put another £560 into the fund on Friday evening.

Well done Pete. I've donated my birthday money. I did it directly so that it qualified for Gift Aid.

Peter

Thanks so much mate that's really kind of you

In fact I've just seen what you donated and that is way beyond the call of duty so thanks from myself and Louie's family.  

Message from Louie's Mom:

Hi Pete I really cannot thank you enough for how much generosity you have shown us. My boyfriend has been racking his brains with a way we can thank you and we would love to do something to say thank you to you and the Northern Soul Community.

Hi Pete. Just donated through the link so gets gift aid. Good on you for the effort and support you are giving to this brave young man

All the best

James

Thank you James

Also - another £260 gone in just now

James did you want a CD, if so can you message me with your address thanks

Nice one Pete

Im sure you'll agree that knowing that we've helped the little lad is more than enough. It's your gig though mate. 

 

If anyone wants their CD's sent to them as audio files via We Transfer I can do that - it means you won't have to wait for the postman but it also means you'd have to burn it yourself. If you want to do that, just PM me with your email address.

Well that's 70 copies done...my arm's nearly dropping off writing all those envelopes :-)

 

 

Hi Pete, I would like one but dont do FB.

Can I pay you via paypal

Regards   Mick

yes Mick

pete.smith@freeuk.com

£11 inc post

if you could let me have your address as well, cheers

Just paid with a little extra

Thanks    Mick

You sent me way too much mate, was that for one, did you want me to put the rest in the fund, or was it for a couple?  Thank you, whichever way..

Hi, just put it in the fund..

Just to let everyone know, another £125 gone into the Louie fund, thank you all once again, only need a few quid now and it will top £4000. I said I wouldn't do any more CD's but it seems daft not to keep raising the money.

My copy arrived today top notch as per usual Pete many thanks

PayPal sent Pete. Let's keep the fundraising going.

I'm afraid that's not going to happen mate.  I received this message on Sunday.

"I sincerely hope the charity funding works a treat for the youngster. However, a word to the wise......several heavyweight collectors/DJs are fuming and are looking to cause you problems. "

So I'm afraid I have had to stop doing the cd's as I can't spend time fighting these people.

Everything on that CD was either mine, or was taken from public domain sources e.g. youtube audio, eBay sound clips.

But on the positive side, the fund reached £4000 due to the efforts of myself and all the great people who've supported it.

muvvafekkers !!!!

Could I just say thank you to people from Soul Source who donated but some of you have sent me paypal payments with no addresses on so don't have anywhere to send the CD's to!  So if you are a person from Soul Source who has paid me can you just make sure I have your address.

IT SAYS 'PETE' BUT IT'S FOR EVERYONE WHO DONATED, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN

 

THE FUND HIT £4000 LAST WEEKEND

 

Pete, you were in the top 1% of donors for February

 

You were one of the most generous donors on JustGiving in February. Out of 428560 donors, you were in the top 1%!

 

Thank you so much.

 

Share this achievement with your friends.

Cheers Pete, Just received my email with the Audio File transfer (works great).

Kirsty (Keep up the good work)

Help Required Please

Does anyone have a copy of the Rare Soul Charity CD that was available on here last year for about £11 (No longer available, I have checked)?

If anyone could burn me a copy or send the tracks to my email address if that would be more convenient I will gladly reimburse you and for the record I have also contributed to the 'Louie's New Legs' Fund.

Many Thanks Everyone,

John. m7gun@talktalk.net
