About me:

How It All Started

Fab4fundraisers ourselves are just a group of four friends with a love for 60s music “Especially The Beatles” who decided to come together around Christmas time 6 years ago to raise money primarily for cancer related causes.

The plan was to over a weekend do a little fundraiser maybe were we could have several bands on and then donate all the proceeds to Cancer related charity's.

Then maybe in doing maybe help save a few lives that are last to this dreadful disease.

So we decided on the idea of having a Beatles Themed Charity Event.

So the 3 of us Marie, Lucy and Martin contacted a few friends we had who played in various bands and our first event was organised over the weekend of 7 and 8 December 2002.

Meet The Fab4Fundraisers

LUCY

Alongside Martin, Lucy is responsible for booking the bands and venue.

Amongst other things she markets and promotes the event throughout the year.

On the day she makes sure proceedings run to schedule and hosts the auction and raffle with Martin. Lucy like the rest of the Fab4Fundraisers is involved in fundraising outside of our Annual December event.

A project she has been involved in within the last year or so is "The Field of Women - Awareness" which Tom Southern of the Linda McCartney Centre told Lucy about the Field of Women event, she thought was a brilliant idea.


Lucy picks up the story from here "Me and my friend Gilly (who was undergoing treatment for cancer at the time) talked a lot about being there. We were looking forward to being in a field in Liverpool, standing side by side with thousands of people to form the silhouette of a woman the centre has named LUCY.

In fact we giggled at the thought of us in pink ponchos and said we would celebrate by waving our hands in the air!

Sadly, Gilly died last year.

Gilly touched my life and many other people's lives with her good humour, kindness and bravery, I miss her.

To make sure Gilly fulfills her wish I will be attending the Field of Women event for her.

There are many ways to support this wonderful cause. You can register yourself and take part in a breath-taking and touching moment in time when people will come together and the image of LUCY will be broadcast to the world.

Or you can sponsor me for doing it, or simply make a donation.

All the proceeds will go to the Linda McCartney Centre to help those affected with breast cancer, in Gilly's name.

Here's the link to my sponsor form.

MARTIN

As well as been a co organiser of the event is responsible for the setting up the backline PA System and he also finally completes the sound-checks prior to our events.Then once the event is underway he is also the host and compare.

He is also known to belt out a few rockers during the Jam Session at the end of the day.

Martin has also recently co founded along with Marie Rock4Mac - which is an entertainments initiative,we are curently planing to host nationwide events next year.


MARIE

Marie as well as been a co coordinator of the event is responsible for the design of our Brochures we have done prior to our events.

She is currently actively helping the cause Macmillan Cancer Care with the organisation of some aditional fundraising activities. Marie has a long association with Macmillan as her Nan was a Macmillan Nurse.


EILEEN

Eileen came on board with the Fab 4 Fundraisers after our first event back in 2002 and manages ticket distribution and administration.

As the F4F Treasurer she looks after the accounts side of things.

She has also introduced the tombola and organizes the raffle on the day.


First Event December 2002

Our first event was organised over the weekend of 7 and 8 December 2002.

On the Saturday 07 December things kicked off with an unplugged session at The Grapes On Matthew Street.

Featuring one of the very first outings of Top George Harrison Tribute – Gavin Pring.

The Finale was the following day when The Prellies toped the Bill for us at The Jacaranda.

Another very strong supporter of our early events was and still is, Chris O'Neil from the film Backbeat.

Who of course as you all know played the part of George Harrison in industry award winning film.

Ever since that date 5 years ago back in 2002 The Jacaranda has become the home of the Fab4Fundraisers Annual Christmas Charity Party.


Then shortly before our 2003 event Eileen Carter came on board with us

We very soon decided to give ourselves a name which people could relate to a bit more, so in 2004 we became known as Fab4Fundraisers.

Regular Bands

Our Christmas Party’s would not be complete without inviting these lads back as they have been with us since the start, when we did our first ever event 5 years ago.

Formed back in 2002, The Prellies take their inspiration from the UK Beat Group explosion that took place in the late 1950's/early 1960's and particularly the Hamburg sound of the Beatles, The Big 3, Rory Storm & The Hurricanes, and Tony Sheridan.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting THE SHAKERS

These Merseybeat purist, have played our event for the last three years.

Many would say the finest band 60s band since as they never ever fail to recreate that authentic Merseybeat sound a feel, wherever and whenever they play.

Its almost as if you have travelled through The Merseybeat Time Tunnel!
