Thanks to Alan Bolt for compering the first concert with such great humour and professionalism and to Rosemary Gregory for stepping into the compere shoes for the two Wild Boar gigs.Thanks to Vivianne and Carl at the Lord Leycester Hotel for your input and advice. Also Corrine and her team for their assistance on the night.

To Clare and the staff at The Wild Boar - what a cracking pub and team! Also to Pete, Steve and Kate at the Slaughterhouse Brewery for producing the fabulous Piginini Ale. Many thanks to Emma Hagan for creating the wonderful ‘fiddling piggy’ logo - he certainly represented the mood of the events. Thanks too to Sue Smith for her lovely original watercolour which raised £101 at the auction at the Lord Leycester event. And to Emma and Amy for the beautiful handmade friendship bands they created for musicians and for sale at the concerts.

Mention must also be made to Sundari Sankar at the Courier for her help in advertising the events to a wider audience.

We have been asked if we are going to organise any more events. At the moment we feel we need some time to recover however, Piginini Trilogy 2 is a possibility - so watch this space.

On a personal level our thanks go to all our family and friends who supported us, not only with our efforts to raise money at the gigs but also during our time of ‘going to hell and back’ - your love, laughter and positive thoughts helped us to carry on when the road ahead seemed long and difficult to travel.

Love, light, peace and joy to all. - Sylvia Latimer and Mick Shaler, via email.
