This is the third year, Mick Du Russel is putting together a big fund raising music show for ALS research (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
This years show will take place on Sunday, April 25th at the Nutty Irishman in Farmingdale, Long Island, from 3pm till 11pm or later. Proceeds from the cover charge and the raffles will be donated to the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig ALS Research Center at Columbia University in NYC.
The entertainment lined up so far include The Red, White and Blues Band (featuring members from Cyndi Lauper's original band; Godfrey Townsend and Andy Aladart are probably joining them), That 70's Band (LI's favorite 8 piece party band) and The Raves featuring guitarist Larry Zettwoch from Randy and the Rainbows. Many celebrity musicians have been invited. Liberty DeVitto, Ian Lloyd, Jon Paris and Ricky Byrd are definitely interested in coming. There will definitely be some surprise guests. Sports celebrities will also be coming also.
Raffles items will include an autographed guitar, signed sports and entertainment memorabilia, gift certificates, etc...
Barnaby Bye will also be playing at this benefit. Each band will play approx an hour or so.
