Chester Festival's 'Artist in Residence' John Harle Launches Oxfam Appeal for Music Donations
Posted by Oxfam Chester on July 30, 2008 11:43 AM
In conjunction with the start of the Chester Summer Festival internationally renowned saxophonist and composer John Harle launched Chester Oxfam's Music Appeal at the Bridge Street Row shop on Friday 18 July with a special signed donation of his own.
'It was really exciting to have such a world class musician as John Harle to launch the appeal while he was in Chester" enthused Andrew Wilkinson, shop manager. Chester Oxfam is appealing for music of all genres and formats, including vinyl, cassette, CD and sheet music to create a first-class music section.
'As more and more people download music from the internet it means they may have quite large collections of CDs or vinyl lying unused that Oxfam could convert into money to relieve poverty and suffering around the world.' added Andrew.
John Harle is the foremost saxophonist of his generation and the most recorded in the world today. He has a world profile, both in the wealth of music his playing has inspired and in his own compositions.
He is the composer of over 25 concert works and 40 television and music scores. It is hoped that his appearance at the shop will encourage lots of music donations to the shop to raise vital funds for Oxfam's ongoing mission to end poverty and suffering around the world.

We need You!

Oxfam Chester, Frodsham street wants to say a big thank you to all our donors and customers for the massive success of the M&S Clothing Exchange. The £5 M&S voucher incentive has increased donations and the shop is truly bursting at the ‘seams’ (pun intended) with high-quality men and ladies fashion.
I would like to appeal to the style-savvy people of Chester to help us select the very best of the donations for sale in the shop. Volunteering for just a few hours a week could make a real difference, enough to pay for a vital medical kit for a midwife in India or seeds for a year’s crop for a family in Malawi!
