TOTAL RAISED!!

The total raised at Dusty Day 2011 is £5,500.

This is considerably less than last year, but it has to be remembered that as years go on we have fewer personal items of Dusty's to auction.

Here is the letter of thanks from the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Marsden Letter 2011

We thank all of you for coming, and for bidding in the auction.

IT WAS A GREAT DUSTY DAY!!!!

Dusty Day 2011General opinion seems to be that Dusty Day 2011 was a roaring success! No volcanic ash to stop our guests, though a bug did stop dear Liane Carroll being there.
The proceeding were opened by Simon Bell singing “I’ve Been Wrong Before” followed by Julie Felix, who, for the first time sang Dusty songs - “Going Back” and “24 Hours From Tulsa” as well as two from her own repertoire.


Later in the day more of Dusty’s material was heard, among the songs - “Love Me By Name” & “A Love Like Yours” from the brilliant Ian Shaw, “All I See Is You” & “Silver Threads And Golden Needles” from Katy Setterfield, “I Can’t Make It Alone” & “I Am Your Child” from Simon Bell, and “A House Is Not A Home” & “In The Middle Of Nowhere” (during which we were joined on stage by Katie Kissoon) from Madeline Bell. Jonathan Cohen once more accompanied us on keyboard.


Douggie Reece shared his memories of Dusty with us, Lana Sister Riss Chantelle chatted with fans, and Pat Rhodes seemed to have a great time!

Thanks need to go to the following:
Jon Ward and his staff at West 5. They were simply wonderful.
John Aitken on the door, Clive Burgess with the raffle tickets, Paul O’Mara... all kept me sane once more.
Justin Whittingham for the loan of the keyboard again.
Neil McCreanor and friends & staff from Cheeky Monkey for supplying great food despite a few hiccups.

 

Many fans stayed on into the night at West 5, joining in the Karaoke with songs associated with Dusty.

I should have the total raised before the end of the week.

Here’s to Dusty Day 2012 - in West 5 on......................... watch this space!!!

MADELINE LOOKING FORWARD TO DUSTY DAY!!
 
Speaking with Madeline Bell today from her home in sunny Spain she was excitedly looking forward to another Dusty Day. There is even the possibility of a duet with Ian Shaw, as Madeline & Ian have been working together lately.

The line-up is currently MADELINE BELL, LIANE CARROLL, IAN SHAW, JULIE FELIX, KATY SETTERFIELD, JONATHAN COHEN, and myself, SIMON BELL.

Madeline says it will take more than another volcano to keep her away this year!

ROYAL WEDDING ON DUSTY DAY WEEKEND
 
The wedding of Kate Middleton to H.R.H. Prince William will take place on Friday April 29, 2011 - 2 days before Dusty Day.

I imagine that hotels will now be at a premium that weekend, so don't leave it too late to book.

On a positive not, it is going to be an exciting few days to be in London - the Royal Wedding on Friday 29 (a Bank Holiday), Dusty Day on Sunday May 1st (followed by another Bank Holiday on Mon May 2), then the planned Dusty tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall on May 5.

On the map below "1" is the location of Dusty Day, and "B" is Westminster Abbey
