Fundraising For Acorns. So Far...


Following our sell-out Charity Benefit Concert in aid of Acorns Children's Hospice at the Malvern Forum Theatre in January, we had two sold out theatre shows in Hereford and Solihull.

Acorns LogoAll of these shows have had very generous audiences - thank you - and, now that we have had confirmation from Acorns, we can announce that our current fund raising effort has raised £6,349.41 for the charity.

We continue to raise as much money as possible for our official charity, particularly with the current financial climate, at our shows, special events, and from the sale of the Acorns' Song CD.

Make the Most of Every Day

We have uploaded the first live performance of Clive John's song "Make the Most of Every Day", which was written especially for Acorns Children's Hospice.

This wonderful charity provides much needed care for life limited children by running three hospices, and providing care in the community, in the West Midlands, UK.

This performance was recorded at the Johnny Cash Roadshow's grand charity concert, in aid of Acorns, at the Malvern Forum Theatre. We were joined on stage by the wonderful Sytchampton School Choir (6-9 year olds), who also performed on the recording of the song, and Richard Gibson on the piano.

If you would like to help us with our target of raising £10,000 for Acorns then please go to our Just Giving webpage. Thank You.

Our total raised so far is £2511.78. This total does not yet include the money raised at our sell-out charity show on 15 January '09. We will add this when we have confirmation.

CDs of the song, which also include a country version of the song, are available to buy from the MixdUpStore with the proceeds going to Acorns. The song is also available to buy as an MP3 digital download.

Purchase your copy of Make the Most of Every Day at the MixdUpStore.
