Busking Cancer
tee shirt
We've signed up to take part in national Busking Cancer fundraising in September to raise money for Cancer Research. This is a national series of events allowing musicians young and old, old and new, to contribute to a worthy cause by collecting donations for their playing.

We'll be easy to spot... wearing the official red Busking Cancer tops rather than the usual jiva colours.

This page will be a record of what we're up to and how things are going.
  • We'll be approaching venues where we play, asking them for permission to come along and do a few songs and also to bring our collecting tins.
     
  • If you'd like us to play for you, your party, your organisation, your venue... please get in touch.
     
  • It's really easy to donate - either pop it into a collecting tin (anonymously if you wish), pledge the donation by signing up (Cancer Research may benefit from extra tax relief if you are a UK taxpayer),  or visit our Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/jiva where you can see how things are going and donate on-line.
