I would like to offer my personal congratulations to Billy who recently held a benefit night at Glasgows Grand Ole Opry. There were 4 bands involved and I know how much organising that takes, having done it myself. I know he managed to raise a whole bunch of money. Well done sir. Donny.

Donny,
Many thanks for saying nice things.
I was not alone,I had many hands helping,the Opry staff in particular were extremely helpful.The people who attended were very generous and We raised £5000 for two beautiful children and their Mum.

Yes!! very well done Billy, great to see the steel community pulling together at such times for a good cause... I would have loved to have been there for that gig but I don`t think news of it got this far south ?? At least I did not get to hear about it until afterwards... :( Still, Well done my friend we are all proud of you :)

Yes a big praise to all the musicians that took part in this very decent gesture. It proves there are still a lot of decent people here on this Island we called England.

well done Mr. Murdoch, and all those who helped,
ps. Roy, have you been reading 'My book of gaffs' written by Prince Phillip by any chance?
