Thank you!
Thank you so much to everyone who attended the Support Carl Bart event at Hanoi Rock City last night. I hope you'll all agree that it was an amazing night.
And not only was it a great night, it was also a successful night: we had nearly 500 people through the gate and when we add on takings from the raffle, BBQ, shooter girls and donations boxes and some generous individual donations we raised 97 million Dong. That's a £3,000 contribution to the fund!
Everyone who donated a prize for the raffle: Bhaya Cruises, Elite Fitness, NShape Fitness, Phong Nha Farmstay, Cate Gunn, Bluesphere, Regency International Insurance, Hanoi Cooking Centre, Bloom Microventures, Puku, Provecho, Namaste, Foodshop 45, Southgate, Le Pub, AZenh and Joma.
Hanoi Backpackers' Hostel for the Shooter Girl booze and their contribution to the food, as well as their on-going support.
All the acts who performed free of charge and were all fantastic: Michael, DJ Dirty Fingrz, Zippy, Phuong, Mouth of the Wolf, Nu Voltage, Good Mouth Feel, DJ Vaughan, DJ Slo Lo and DJ Pablo
Phu, Liz, DA and the team at Hanoi Rock City
Cate for taking photos, Synergy for its support, Steve and Georgie for the BBQ, Hanoi Small Goods for the food, Heartlink for the printing and all the places that let us put up posters and leave flyers and donations boxes
And finally, to all of our wonderful volunteers, who gave their time to help both before and during the event:
Helmut, James, Kieren, Luke and Ryan on the BBQ
Our shooter girls Anna, Laura, Kaberly, Kim, Mark (technically not a girl) and Roisin
Adrian, Alan, Bec, Claire, Emily, Felicity, Matt and Ursula who sold raffle ticket and took your money on the gate
If I've missed anyone I sincerely apologise.
Thanks to the generosity of businesses in Hanoi we are going to be running another raffle or two soon, with prizes contributed by Rentabike, Wide Eyed Tours, Regency International and NShape. Watch out for more information.

HANOI ROCK CITY
SATURDAY 24th SEPTEMBER 2011
Mouth of the WolF (S.M.P.)

Often told not to shout so much, especially by those who love him, Mouth of The Wolf looks forward to missing chords, failing keys, confusing audiences and generally making Hanoians sway, dance and cry inexplicably, in no particular order.
If you've not heard MOTW play before you've been missing out. Check out some of the tracks below from the latest EP.
Taxi Driver
Franco's Parrot
My Girl
ZIPPY DOIRON

Zippy is certainly popping up everywhere at the moment and we're very glad she'll be available to preform at our event along with her ukulele, Eugene.
Tracks from this talented and dare I say slightly unusual Canadian artist can be found on her MySpace page, and are availavle to buy on iTunes.
Dang Nam Phuong (S.M.P.)

An amazing young female song writer.
Elegant piano and power vocals. Recent performances have literally left the audience in awe of this must see talent.
You can listen to a couple of Phuong's tracks here.
Good Mouth Feel (S.M.P.)

Very pleased Good Mouth Feel could make it! Hanoi expats Christophe, Luke, Kyle and Sarah will make you feel good in more places than just the mouth.
DJ Slo-LO
DJ Slo-Lo is the alter-ego of Bush Lam: composer, bassist, vocalist and music promotor who hails from Da Lat but is forever on the move, seeking out new projects and musicians.
Fortunately for us, Lam is in town and up for a late night DJ set!
DJ VAUGHAN (S.M.P.)

Vaughan has never failed to get a dance floor packed and we mean never and has been a proponent of good-non-commercial beats.
DIRTY FINGRZ
Indie DJ Dirty Fingrz will kick off the night with some tunes to draw in the crowds.
NU VOLTAGE

Young, fun and charismatic, NuVoltage is a Nu-Metal/Alternative rock band influenced by Linkin Park, Limp bizkit, Lost prophets and Explosions in the sky
