Fri 23 Jan West End: Tibet2Timbuk2 and friends

Hi folks,

Shen's News: This will be my last email before flying off to India for 2 months from next Sunday. As I haven't had any gigs lately, we're putting on a FREE little gig down at Cafe Checocho, 7-11pm Friday Jan 23: Tibet2Timbuk2 and friends. Confirmed guests include Feridun Avar (Turkey), Lansana Camara (Guinea), Tony Magambo and Ravi Welsh.

I also want to give a special mention to a major event being organised by Tenzin at the Powerhouse Jan 29-31, the 50 Years in Tibet festival. The latest news is that Senator Bob Brown will be joining the discussion panel!

More news on the Tibet2Timbuk2 front: Our CD "Music is Life" is now on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and Napster. So now that we're easily accessible to the whole wide interweb, I'd like to ask you to help out in spreading the word about our good vibes. I've posted 20 easy ways to help Tibet2Timbuk2 achieve world domination, including writing reviews at various online stores and sending songs to friends on Facebook.

Music4children (global music charity)

Music4children is a charity started by musicians to help underprivileged children directly. Disillusioned on how much money was making it to the causes from the big charities they decided to do something to help directly. 100% of public donated money goes directly to the cause and M4C is volunteer based.

M4C broke the world records for the highest gig on Mt Everest and the longest performance of 44 hours non stop and have raised enough money to build an orphanage in Nepal as it's first project. Work is on going and will have children in this year.

This year we take our extreme gigs to the Amazon to play in the most remote and dangerous places on earth. For more info www.music4children.org.

Sat 10 Jan Sandgate: Music by the Sea Festival - Mamadou Diabate + Circle of Rhythm

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Happy New Year everybody!!! I had a very pleasant relaxing weight-gaining period with my family over in Perth. I hope you had a great holiday season too.

I've got just one gig this month before I head to India for 2 months starting Jan 25. On Jan 23 I'll be gathering some musos at Checocho Cafe, hopefully featuring Tibet2Timbuk2 and other EthnoSuperLounge friends. Stay tuned for more info.

Have you got your copy of Tibet2Timbuk2's new CD "Music is Life" yet? It's a great CD, so please check it out at the EthnoSuperLounge Shop. Proceeds go to support Tibetan Children's Village.
