Fundraising in support of DJ Derek legacy
Rev Jack Daniels DJ, raising funds in memory of DJ Derek
Trinity would like to give a big thank you to Reverend Jack Daniels DJ and his friends and family for raising £200 towards Trinity's youth music programme, in memory of our the late great DJ Derek.
The Scott Arms in Dorset hosted The Strummerjam ‘Jerk Shak’ Garden Party in celebration of the birthday of Joe Strummer - British musician co-founder and lead vocalist of the Clash - and to raise a glass to the late DJ Derek, who sadly passed just over one year ago.
Donations for the raffle came from the Scott Arms, Wilkswood Farm Butchers Shop and Worth Matravers Tearooms. The Hattie Brown Brewery donated a barrel of 'Sweet Memory Ale' and Charlie Newman at the Square and Compass donation of a barrel of 'Johnny Appleseed Cider'. The event raised funds for Sweet Memory Sounds - the legacy set up in memory of DJ Derek by his family and friends, to support good causes that would have been close to his heart.
Funds raised will support Trinity's Youth Music Programme, working with young people who have become disengaged or excluded from mainstream education. Using music, we help young people increase their confidence, skills and abilities and help them to re-engage and get back into learning.
A big thank you to DJ Jack and his family for selling an amazing amount of raffle tickets and for supporting Trinity's youth music programme.
