LifeJam: A special music event

A special music event took place at The Lord Combermere all day on Saturday.

'Lifejam' was the idea of former Audlem resident Reuben Palin and took place to raise money for a new £8.5 million RNLI Lifeboat Station at St Davids, Pembrokeshire in Wales. Reuben moved with his family to work in Pembrokeshire and has since joined the crew of the St Davids lifeboat.

Funding was raised by donations and sponsorship and advertisements in the programme. Artists performed during the afternoon and evening and included:

• The Duffey Boys
• Folkwits
• Heidi Browne
• Roydan Styles
• Darren Poyzer
• Crystal Ships
• Jack Marshall band
• Mike Chant
• Mark Stevens.

All the musicians gave their time free of charge with the sound system provided free of charge by Hollow Floor Studios.

Therewas also a stall selling RNLI related gifts.

You can donate £5 by texting RNLI ST DAVIDS to 70300 or visit www.rnli.org/StDavidsAppeal

Ralph Warburton adds: "A successful charity night and day for Reuben Palin's Lifeboat appeal – close on £2000 raised.

"It just shows what a superb community we have, more so when you realise that the population is below 2000!"
