Robbie Gladwell & Friends will be performing another one of their concerts in St Andrew’s Church, Church Road, Bulmer, Nr Sudbury on Saturday 28th July 2012 at 7.30pm to help raise funds for Age UK Essex and Age UK Suffolk.
Robbie Gladwell (member of Steve Harley’s Cockney Rebel) has been supporting Age UK Suffolk and Age UK Essex for over 3 years as he wanted to do something to help older people in the local community, particularly those who are isolated.
The Robbie Gladwell and Friends concerts give many local musicians and singers who appear with him the chance to showcase their talent.
Peter Bland, Deputy Chief Executive at Age UK Essex, said “we are once again delighted that Robbie Gladwell has offered to do this concert for us at St Andrews Church, Bulmer. Robbie highlights our work and raises our profile within the community. It will be a fantastic evening and Robbie will be inviting other musicians to join him to make the event one to remember!”
Tickets will be available on the door priced at £10 (concessions £5 for under 16’s and over 65’s). Come along and bring a picnic! Refreshments will be available.
