Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to those of you who came along to the Mikes Place Benefit Gig on Saturday 28th June. The Spitz Club was packed with a crowd of more than 200 who joined us for a great night of live music and beer. Bands from Cardiff to Leeds to Brighton came down to London and put on a fantastic performance. The night was headlined by our boys back-home - Mike, Andrei and Gadi who flew in from J'town and rocked the stage (despite a closed bar!). Many of you poured into the gallery to see the exhibitions by Yael Aviv and Shira and sign our guest book. The evening was a huge success and between ticket sales, the raffle and T-Shirts, we have so far raised over £2,000 for The Fund.

Since the event, many of you have told me what a great atmosphere it was in the Spitz that night (including the staff) and many more of you talked of the great people you met. There were also a few reunions! If we managed to achieve this in London for one evening then we were truly successful in our aim to share the Mikes Place spirit internationally, as well as raising money for our family. Thank you for sharing this special night with us.

Of course there are lots of people behind the scenes to thank...I will try and keep it brief: Dave - what a star! Vanessa (the raffle queen), Andy, Camilla, Craig and Row - you guys are the best. Natalie, Martin, Elke, Tracy for all your hard work on the night. Ellie for curating an entire exhibition in under 2 hours, Craig & Josh for your camera work.. and more, Sidney Baginsky our resident accountant, Sloane and Solly. For flying in the band Brent Tanner, Sharon Travel (Sam you are the best!), West End Travel, Fort Air and Benji - your generous donations made it possible. CST for your security and the boys at Scotland Yard, Brian and Winn. Alex you managed the fastest sound check in history and kept the place rocking. We never really had the press behind us in the Uk but to those that took on our story... thank you: Judi Herman (BBC Radio), Martin Lewis (BBC), Jo (Intelligent PR), Jenny Hazen (Jerusalem Post), Louise Scodie (JC) and Walter Bingham (Radio 4). To the entire team at London Jewish News - you guys believed in us from the very beginning and helped us every step of the way. Dan Levitt & Dan Whiteman for the poster headaches (sorry!!!), Justin Cohen - you truly rock! Danny Boy for going beyond the call of duty...nothing to say to you - except see ya in Israel..We love ya!

To all the bands - honorary members of the Mikes Place stage (welcome anytime): Electric Experience, Pylon, Maxtones, Firefly and Natureboy for giving your time and energy and putting on the best show ever. Joe and Karl - you guys kick ass! Blues Train - against the odds you made it happen.
Laheim!!
Lastly to all our family back home, for your total support and love in these difficult times...see ya all real soon.
