Today’s the day of my fundraising busk for Nepal. I’ll be ‘Singing on Solid Ground’ in Duffy’s SuperValu in Ballaghaderren in Roscommon from 1 o’clock till…. Friday is the busiest day there and they tell me that from one till four or five is the busiest time of the week.
Since arranging it with the Duffy family, I’ve been lucky to have found some lovely people who will help out with collection buckets and even have a Minnesotan couch surfer staying who, apart from harp, cello, banjo, guitar and tin whistle, plays Hardanger fiddle and Maija is actually staying on an extra day to help out on the busk and so it should be an enjoyable day for everyone there.
A couple of bucket collections, one in Cryan’s in Carrick on Shannon and another in Anderson’s Thatch on the Elphin Road, together with the direct donation page I set up with Concern, have brought in over €400 so my target on a thousand should be possible.
Busking has been very interesting, if difficult in the last month - I will write more in other posts - and we are all looking out for better weather.
