♦     Celebrating the Life of     ♦
Vic Evans
Friday 16^th December

Many of you will know that the much loved Vic Evans passed away on the 3rd November. We’ve been saddened to learn that Vic and his family, along side 46,000 other people, had paid into a funeral plan fund (‘Safe Hands Funeral Plan’ that has gone into liquidation, leaving all who paid into the plan out of pocket.

We’ve got together with a group of Silvershine friends to come up with ideas of how to ease the financial burden of Vic’s funeral costs. So this is what we’ve come up with so far: On Friday 16th December we’ll be holding a tribute gig for Vic at the Silvershine featuring many fabulous guest musicians, young and old, who have had the pleasure of playing along side Vic. It’s a great line-up to date.

There’ll also be an auction of some special donated gifts. All proceeds will be given to Vic’s family to help towards his funeral cost and give him the send off he deserves. If you can’t attend the gig but wish to contribute to help out that would be great!

And as Vic would say at the end of every gig “That’s all folks”.

  Much love,

The Silvershine family.

 

 

This is Dr Steve's Jazz Surgery’s last gig of the year at Silvershine Jazz Club, Bearwood.

 

This time they are re-imagining Charles Ives' seminal The Unanswered Question from 1908, Tromans has composed an evening's worth of music to address the question: "What is the unquestioned answer in our society today? How differently could we live to be more in accord with our planet and what philosophy would enable us to do so?"

 

A musical philosophical exploration of how humanity can face the many problems it has caused and work toward a better future for all.
 

• Dr Steve Tromans - Piano
   
• Amy Coates - Piano
   
• Maja Pluta - Violin
   
• Steve Palmer - Drums/Percussion

“Seriously not one to miss, friends!”
