George Best Tribute
Here is some word of a worthwhile project that honours a football hero and supports a good cause:
I’m Pete Robinson of Manchester based band, Cracked Flag. We’re raising money for The Foundation for Liver Research - George Best Appeal, by selling a CD single of a tribute song we wrote to the great man called “Goodbye to the Belfast Boy”. We’re booked to play the song live at the opening of the memorial dinner for George at OT on 16th March.
At the moment the CD is available via the internet at www.goodbyebelfastboy.com and at a growing number of pubs, clubs and shops in Salford. All profits from sales go to George’s charity - we’re not making a penny out of it! (In fact we’re about £1K out of pocket at the moment).
I’m hoping you can help us to raise awareness of the song in the Man U community. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I think the United faithful will like the song - its not a lament - its an upbeat celebration of his life.
If you want more info just give me a call on 0044 7946 533824 or Paul Johnston on 0044 7710 406036 or e-mail us through the web site.
H/T to Michael Singer of MUSCC.
