Last night I attended the charity night for remembering Russell Speed (Big Russ) and raising money for MacMillan cancer support. At the time of writing this blog I am unaware how much was raised exactly but the last I'd heard it was over £1,000.
It was an excellent evening, two great bands and a packed pub. There was a real sense of community, throngs of laughter and heaps of generosity.
I've had friends pass away before but none have been so fondly and fittingly remembered as Big Russ was last night.
The staff of the Fox and Crown deserve a special mention, they worked tirelessly all night to make it such a great evening, it's a fantastic pub with genuine people both friends and staff alike.
Everyone concerned should be proud of themselves for raising money and honouring Big Russ!
