"I'd dearly love to download the TableEdit files from your site. I'm particluarly interested in a guitar version of "Eleanor Plunkett". Since 2001 I have been involved in charity work for Springhill Hospice in Rochdale Lancs and recently for The Leonard Cheshire Home at Honresfeld in Littleborough Lancs. A group of us associated with a local amateur theatre regularly perform a local tradional version of the Pace Egg Play and we collect for Springhill Hospice or Honresfeld. We perform from Easter until summer at various venues around Rochdale and Bury and even venturing into Yorkshire! On a good year, we've managed to collect or have donated as much as £600. Here's the theatre site with the link to the Pace Egg. " "I am a nurse, community working in SE London and believe music is the key to recovery. I regularly input (unpaid) to a music group I established within a Mental Health Clinic. Please could you send me some Carolan files so that I could share this in the group. I will credit all the tabs to your website." "I'm 66 years old and a hospice nurse, working in patients' homes for the Suncoast Hospice in Pinellas County, Florida. I'm learning the guitar to be able to play for them, since my feeling is that if you don't share your music, why bother to learn it. I'm hoping this will qualify me as doing charitable work, even though I do get paid for it. " "On Sundays, I usually busk, without asking for donations, in the park. I like your idea and would be more than happy to play for donations that I would gladly donate to a local charity…of which there are many! " "I live and work in Beijing. The streets of Beijing are full of blind musicians. Most play erhu, the upright Chinese fiddle. I pledge to donate 20 kuai (about £2) to every blind musician I see in the next month in the memory of Carolon. I further pledge to work hard at learning your arrangements and educating my Chinese students and friends in the rich tradition of Celtic music." "I run a residential treatment center for kids in Austin, TX (the live music capital of the world) and am an active member of several mental health advocacy groups. I will make a $100 donation to Mental Health America, Austin Chapter on Tuesday. That money will go to support afternoon therapy activities for chronically mentally ill folks around the area." "I will put in a full day with Dunecare, which is restoring our beautiful coastal dunes by removing non-native plants and replacing them with local varieties and by general tidying up and rubbish removal. The non-native plants were introduced on purpose 30-40 years ago to help stabilise the dunes and are now running riot, squeezing out all the native ones. Such is life."
