Many thanks from Murphy's: Leamington bar owner is grateful to supporters of charity festival

The bar in Regent Street, Leamington, held the music festival over the the last weekend of August and so far it has raised £6,430.

Out of this amount, £1,500 was given to the Myton Hospices, £1,500 for Helping Hands, £1,500 to the PDSA, £1,500 to Warwick Hospital, £400 to the WNAA , £15 to the Poppy Appeal and £15 to the RNLI.

To add to this phenomenal fundraising effort, Kevin is also auctioning off an Iron Man print signed by the late Marvel comics legend Stan Lee for around £2,000 on Ebay, which will be split between Myton, Helping Hands, the PDSA and the hospital and take the total amount raised to at least £8,430.

But none of it would have been possible if it were not for all of the people who continue to support the event.

The bands and musicians who played over the three days were:

The Jay-Kays (opening the event as always)

Ryan Sloan

Blues Extra

The Intruder

DJ Nozzi

Paul and Glen Elliott

The Warning

Kirsty Minchella-Storer

Jackie James Band

Cool Diamond

Rossi and Hannah Rossiter

DJ Stu

Mystery Train

Tanglewood

Electric Moonshine

Rena and the Renegades

Paul Smith

The Tippers

Caroline The Singer

Unchained

The Bangers

Will Ball Trio

Kevin has also thanked Pete Smith of PSL distribution for providing the The PA system for the event, Vic at Dr.Um for providing the drum kit, Chris Wilsmore for providing the window and chalkboard art for the event and given an extra special thanks to Joe McGarvey and his crew at Warwick Signs for supplying event t-shirts and posters.

The raffle held as part of the event raised £3,000 alone and this was supported by Murphy’s bar staff including Lisa, Tammy, Shannon, Bully Lorraine, Rachel, Jenny, Eviee, Stuart and Rene who sold thousands of tickets between them.
