ICEHA BENEFIT PARTY: FUNDING AN HIV CLINIC IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Following the RVT’s long tradition of raising money for charity, the Vauxhall Taverners bring you FUNdamental on Friday 30th January.
The Vauxhall Taverners are raising money to adopt a mentored HIV clinic in the developing world via a charity called the International Community for Equality in Healthcare Access (ICEHA).
(The Vauxhall Taverners are a long standing network of RVT regulars who communicate via a yahoo group set up 6+ years ago.)
To do this we need to raise £9000.  The good news is that we have already raised over £5500!  To finish off this appeal there is a fundraising night on Friday 30th January (after the first pay day of the New Year, for those who work!).
The evenings event on Friday 30th is called FUNdamental. 
THE LINE-UP FOR THE NIGHT:
>> Doors open at 7pm featuring door whore TRANNIE LENNOX (you might recognise her from other Sunday appearances!)
>> There will be a show and charity auction featuring ZOE LYONS and GILL MANLY from 8.30pm.
>> Plus DJs EDDIE K, HOWARD TURNER, PHILL MARRIOTT and ROB C through 'til 2am.

Further details are available on Facebook or via the RVT website www.rvt.org.uk/fundamental. 
Tickets are £8 in advance or £10 on the night
Tickets available from Thomas, Tristan, Debbieanne, Mike or Diana, or by emailing taernst@doctors.org.uk
All auction and door takings going to the charity. 
Please buy your tickets now and spread the word to friends, family and colleagues to have fun and to help us raise the final £3.5K, whilst knowing that a little bit of the RVT is helping fund HIV services in Africa or Asia, as well as all of the wonderful charity work we have done for HIV services here in the UK.

ZOE LYONS:“Her routine was a fireproof parade of quick fire observational gags delivered with utter conviction and unfailing professionalism. The audience didn't really have a chance.“ - Chortle
"Confident and Razor Sharp" - Observer Magazine
"One to Watch " - Time Out
 "Her material is diverse; flitting from one subject to another without breaking pace and she hits the right comedic tone every time" - funny.co.uk
GILL MANLY:"Great singing is a wholly natural,seemingly god-given thing that channels vulnerability and momentarily changes the shape of the listener's heart....it can surge, destroy, upset, glorify, heal, elate, strengthen and clarify.  Gill Manly is this" - Ian Shaw"You're never to old to sing your song and Gilly does just that.  Sing your song Miss Gilly.  It's about time" - Sheila Jordan
"The energy and strength of Gill Manly's voice and jazz work constantly amazes me. Gill Manly has one of the finest vocal jazz conceptions in Britain today."  - Mark Murphy
"YOUR voice is amazing and it makes people's heart go soft!" - Maya Marer, Inspired Living Now"......shock of the evening was London singer Gill Manly, a whirlwind, breathtaking performance which could have been an amalgam of Bessie Smith and Sarah Vaughan." - Evening Herald"Exposure to this ladies startling display of improvisation was enough to confirm suspicions that jazz sure is the sexiest music form....she is without doubt a goddess." - Shetland Times"Once heard never forgotten, her range and attack are superb, she can take a song anywhere she wants and leave your ears humming.  It is a rare treat to hear a jazz voice that is literally breathtaking in its beauty, power, range, and technical ability....Gill Manly had her audience enthralled."  - Boz Magazine"Stylish, sturdy vocals with a blues tinge." - Evening Standard

Well whtever happens it is sure to be a good night of fun and I'm also sure that the night will raise the money required as well.

We have some fabulous auction goods on the go including goody bags from those stars of the 10th anniversary Chillout, and some pretty startling donations from some of our own and from many others out there on the scene. The list is under compilation as we speak, so watch this space! I will say that I'm truly gobsmacked by some of the donations and you will not be disappointed on the night!

The RVT is again puuling out all the stops with another charity event. DE anounced last week that the RVT had raised £20,000+ for charity in 2008, which is truly remarkable !! Good luck with this one Tristan.
