Isle of Wight Haiti Appeal Concert

Haiti Appeal Concert Saturday, February 6^th 2010 7:00pm – 1:00am Cowes Yacht Haven, Events Centre.

Featuring top-class Island acts, the Isle of Wight Haiti Appeal Concert aims to raise much needed funds for the Disaster Emergency Committee following the devastating earthquake in Haiti on 12 January this year.

The concert has been organised by Lee Taylor in association with Spencer Rigging Ltd, with help from Red Funnel, Isle of Wight Ferries. The concert will take place next Saturday, 6 February at Cowes Yacht Haven Event Centre.

The concert will be headlined by Island bands the Chancers and the Kurves.

The Chancers have enjoyed some fantastic and inspirational support slots including, The Pea’s, New Master Sounds, Scratch Perverts, Cuban Brothers & Roy (THE VIBE) Ayers. Chosen as the UK’s most inspired unsigned band by Radio 1 listeners & Rob Da Bank, hands shaken by The Beastie Boys after performing at The Bestival, Persuading Soul 2 Soul to play the threatened Isle of Wight – Ryde Theatre, Dj-ing for Rizla as The Invisible Players… are just some early highlights to have blessed their way. Regular appearances at Isle of Wight Festival & Bestival have given The Chancers the opportunity to prove and refine their craft and graft amongst some of the best names in the business.

The Kurves chosen as the UK’s most inspired unsigned band by Radio 1 listeners and Rob Da Bank, the Kurves were formed in August 2007 and have also played a host of festivals, culminating with performances at the ‘White Air Festival’ alongside The Pigeon Detectives and The Operators, and Bestival alongside The Human League, Gary Numan, Lily Allen and Pendulum. The concert will also have special guests and DJs to entertain the crowd.
