Hi all,
Firstly I'd like to say that I do think The Feeling are amazing and I love their new video... My sister-in law's Majorette's troupe are in the video, my neice is one of them! But right now I have an URGENT plea and request for the band and also one I'm making to their management, too!
As some people may have read in the newspapers or seen on television yesterday and Sunday night... In the early hours of Sunday morning outside Shillibeer's pub near York Way in North London a young talented man by the name of Ben Kinsella (Brother of former Eastenders actor Brooke Kinsella) was stabbed to death, by a group of youths for no apparent reason.
Ben was a friend of mine and Brooke a very good friend of mine and he has now become a statistic; the 17th young person to die due to stupidness in London, this year! But Ben was and is a lot more than just a statistic... He was a model student and great friend; he had just finished his GCSE's and was predicted all A's but due to some boys thinking they were big to carry a knife his life was snuffed out like a candle!
A group of us are trying to organise a concert in memory of Ben Kinsella and all those other young ones who've lost their lives! And also to push the bar on raising awareness for these kinds of ridiculous actions which take away young lives from their friends, loved ones and families all the time!
We haven't got a date yet... But we're hoping to have it happen either at The Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal F.C... Or Barnard Park in Barnsbury, North London. And here's the request.
We would be entirely grateful if The Feeling and/or their management would find it in their hearts and within themselves to, if of course time permits, perform at the concert. We are trying to get as many bands/artists that would be willing to do it and at the moment The Feeling are top on my list and are only third to be asked only because 2 of my very close friends are also artists so I called them personally.
I and I know everyone else involved, would be ever so thankful if this could be made possible! And, even if not through the forums; someone could give me a number for the record company or management team so I could speak to someone personally...
Thank you,
R.I.P BK xx
