PLUS AN AUCTION OF MARK’S ANTIQUARIAN BOOKS

Dear Friends,

Please show your support and come join us for a fantastic night at The Bloomsbury Theatre on 15th September at 7.30pm to remember Mark Blanco in all his guises and to raise funds for the continuing investigation into his unlawful killing.

Ahmed Dickinson Cardenas, virtuoso Cuban guitarist will perform alone and with Emma, Mark’s sister, in a programme of music from Cuba to Spain to Argentina. For a truly energetic fun-filled second half Graffiti Classics, fresh from this year’s Edinburgh Festival, will guarantee to leave you with a smile on your face! Not gypsy, not jazz, not trad, not classical but scintillatingly slap-stick with brilliant arrangements and mischievous humour.

There will also be an auction of more of Mark’s antiquarian and other books and a couple of surprises along the way I am sure, if last year’s event is anything to go by!

PLEASE come and support us on September 15th and contribute to the ongoing fight for justice. The funds raised from last year’s event enabled us to have some vital biomechanical analysis done on the CCTV footage from the night of Mark’s death.

Tickets are available from the Bloomsbury Theatre box office
