avfest ground crew (kick arse!!l)

About Me

Myspace Backgrounds this all started out at avfest which runs gigs in marquees to raise money for little havens childrens hospice in benfleet essex. we made a couple of cds and thought the best way to sell them and to raise more money would be to get out gigging so here we are.
we currently have a couple of cds which we will take to gigs. one is Â£3 the other is Â£2.
look out for us at a gig near you :)
check out www.myspace.com/avfest and www.myspace.com/shortyacoustic for our other charity sites. thanks
we are just starting to sort out a set with a full line up of instruments so if you fancy something different at one of your gig, give us a shout here.
