(07540) 481148This Saturday 12th Sep the event of ‘Crispystock’ will be occurring in Andover, Hampshire at ‘The Lights’ Venue by the College. This has become an annual event celebrating the life of Christopher Vearncombe (nicknamed ‘Crispy’).
Crispy was the UK Air Guitar Champion in 2005 and was 4 days away from returning to defend his crown. Tragically he was hit by a vehicle in Durban, South Africa and was killed. This was only a few years ago at the age of 25. In his memory this event is a day of live music promoting local talent as Crispy was very passionate about this and was very involved with the scene. The event has grown in popularity, starting from all of his friends and locals attending, from the Venue changing to accomodate a wider variety of the public to join in and donate to the ‘Headway’ charity. This charity helps the survivors of brain injury lead their day to day lives. The event donates all proceeds to this charity and everyone involved in this large family of friends all do their upmost to contribute and to encourage others.
Everyone can donate though the internet at www.crispystock.com please visit this site and help a very worthy charity. Also at this website the details of the charity and the event can be found, including posters for this years band listings and previous years.
If you are local please join this great day out bringing a positive message to the community about friends and family sticking together through adversity. Have fun and celebrate to a local hero.
