The Twitchy Feet Club Presents… The Acoustic River Sessions
The second Twitchy Feet Club fundraising music event will be held on board York Boat’s ‘Captain James Cook’ on Sunday 2nd February, 2014. The boat, a much underused venue on the York music scene, has a fully licensed bar, enclosed upper deck and toilets. The three hour cruise will sail from 7.30pm to 10.30pm. Three fantastic acoustic acts from York are performing: Andy Stones, Simon Snaize and The Peacock Suits.
The event was a great success and tickets were sold out!! Thank you to everyone who gave their time to support us. We raised over £700 for Caroline’s Rainbow Foundation and our Safer Travel App!
The event is raising money for the Caroline’s Rainbow Foundation Safer Travel App. Caroline’s Rainbow Foundation is a registered UK charity based in York who strives to increase awareness of the importance of travel safety to young people. The purpose of the event is for people to enjoy excellent, live, local music whilst raising money for this worthy cause.
