Last year we played at a concert to help raise money for a young Peruvian, called Andy. We raised over £700 to help him to train as a chef. He is doing extremely well and is always in the top two or three of his year group. Thank you so much to all of you who supported him.

This year we are performing in aid of another Peruvian venture - a charity called "The Colour of Hope". It is run by a local lass, Amy New, who went to school in Exeter and now lives in East Devon.  In her gap year, aged 17,
she visited Peru and worked in Lima in a home for street children. She went back twice in the long vacations while she was at university. Having completed her studies, she felt she had to do more to help so returned to Lima.  That is where she has been for the last two years. She set up her own charity, called "The Colour of Hope", which aims to give children who leave children's homes the necessary life skills to cope with life.

The evening of Jazz will be at Ottery St, Mary Football Club in Butts Road, Ottery St Mary. The date is Friday 14th November, and the time is 7.30 to 10.00 pm. Tickets cost £5 and can be purchased by ringing 01404 815188 or 01404 814867. The capacity of the clubhouse is 120 so it is advisable not to rely on buying a ticket at the door. Last year's concert at the Royal Clarence was a sell out and people had to be turned away.

We hope to see you there!
