Says Robin George:
‘Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with many of the best musicians in the industry and it occurred to me that one song I wrote some years ago, LovePower and Peace, had been recorded by many of those talents.
I mentioned to a friend that I was planning to mix the song featuring all those artists, and he suggested making it a sharing single.
It was so obviously a great idea that my enthusiasm was shared by everyone I approached. As I invited each artist to join LovePower, they would suggest others that they thought would love to be involved for example, Pete Thompson (Robin Trower Band) introduced Pete Haycock (Climax Blues Band) Dom Brown (Duran Duran) got involved.
So this has become a labour of love not only for me, but for all of the great artists involved. Everyone has commented that they feel honoured to be working with such fabulous musicians for such deserving causes,
LovePower & Peace Robin George
Summer fundraising update
After completing the Staines 10K last month I am gearing up for my first half-marathon in over twenty years, the Ealing half-marathon on September 29th. As a warm-up I am doing the Dorney 10K on Saturday 20th July and this should be a good race as a) it’s flat and b) it is around the Olympic rowing lake. These two races I will be raising funds for CLAPA (The Cleft Lip & Palate Association). The fundraising for CLAPA (The Cleft Lip & Palate Association) is currently at £418 and looking good to hit my £500 target 🙂

I am also rounding up some more signed goodies for charity auctions on EBay and these will include a set of all four Jackdaw4 CD’s (kindly donated by Willie Dowling), plus more TBC (any contacts for items gratefully received). For the latest on signed items for auction on EBay pop over to:

Thanks again for your continued support as it is very much appreciated.
Warm-up 10K in July for the big ‘un in Septemeber
For my ‘warm-up’ race for the Ealing half-marathon at the end of September I am doing a new 10K for me the Dorney Dash on Saturday 20th July. Looks like a lovely course around the former Olympic rowing lake and it’s a flat course as well J
I am also hopefully getting a few more signed goodies for EBay charity auctions for the Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA) who I will be running the Ealing half marathon for.
Taking a break…plus Staines 10K
Staines 10k looming nearer and I am running for the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS). This run and one in the summer for CLAPA will be my last fundraising for this year as I am going to take a year off.
It is getting harder and harder to raise funds and I don’t like to keep asking the same generous folks and pestering the same wonderful bands & authors who have kindly donated signed items.
Still I aim to go out with a nice decent sum raised for both charities and as ever any help much appreciated.
Training and the Staines 10K
Good to see the Staines 10K on Sunday May 19th has nearly reached its 600 entrants maximum and raised over £400 for charity through entrance fees. I am running and raising funds for the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS).
I am doing a couple of runs per week at the moment although the warmer weather does tend to entice me out more. Yes I freely admit I am a fair weather runner 🙂
Still looking for a half marathon between June and late August. My home town Potters ‘Arf would be ideal but I can’t make that weekend. Any suggestions most welcome.
Hope to have some more signed goodies soon. Have a fair few requests out there and just hoping some respond.
My JustGiving pages are:

Any help promoting them very much appreciated.
Signed Tom Bromley books for charity
Thanks to author Tom Bromley there are three signed books of his raising funds for CLAPA and the NDCS:
‘Wired for Sound: Now That’s What I Call An 80’s Music Childhood’ bid here
‘All In The Best Possible Taste: Growing Up Watching Telly In The 80’s’ bid here
The third book on one hit wonders will be online soon. Having read all three books I can highly recommend them, so you get a great read plus you help a charity at the same time. Thanks again to Tom Bromley and do pop along to his website http://www.tombromley.co.uk/
I am also working on getting signed items for the Stoke City £150 fundraising (to tie0in with the club’s 150th anniversary) for the two charities. I am aiming to raise £150 for CLAPA & the NDCS through these signed Stoke City related items. Any contacts for Stoke players past and present gratefully received.
Signed Ainsley Harriott photo raising funds for the NDCS
Thanks to TV chef legend Ainsley Harriott for donating a signed photo raising funds for the NDCS (National Deaf Children’s Society). You can bid on it here
More signed goodies soon 🙂
In running news I have signed up for my first race of 2013 with the Staines 10K on Sunday May 19th. This one I will be running for the NDCS and then I plan to do another 10K in July for CLAPA and then all being well a half-marathon in August/September time.
I am also looking at getting some sigend items related to Stoke City FC who celebrate their 150th anniversary this year. My idea is to raise at least £150 from related Stoke City items for the two charities.
Dante Fox goodies raising funds for CLAPA & NDCS
BIG thanks to Dante Fox for kindly donating two CD’s and t-shirt. You can bid on them here:
The running is going okay, I tend to do one to two runs per week over the winter and then ramp it up in February/March time. I am very grateful to anonymous donations on JustGiving for my fundraising for CLAPA. Truly humbling and now means over £400 has been raised for CLAPA 🙂
Happy New Year & new charity auctions coming soon
Well the fundraising for CLAPA is off to a good start with £370 already raised thanks to John Micthell (It Bites) and the winning bidder for a guitar lesson & lunch with John Mitchell.
Coming soon will be signed goodies from author Tom Bromley (he has written a series of highly readable books on pop music) and melodic rockers Dante Fox, including a rather special treat for one lucky fan – more details soon.
Also I am very pleased to have a guest blogger who will be writing about their family and in particular their son to raised awareness over cleft lip and palates. More details to follow shortly.
Running wise I am doing the Staines 10K again this year for both charities and planning doing a half mararthon in the summer. Did my first run of the year last night and slightly creaky this morning 🙂
Thanks again for your continued support and wishing you all the best for the coming year and beyond.
