On Friday November 12, 2010 we’re taking part in a tribute night at The Wilmington Arms, called It’s A Wonderful Night, with profits from the evening going to Mind, the UK charity dedicated to promoting mental health (http://www.Mind.org.uk).

It's a sad and beautiful world

The night will be an evening of music in honour of the late Mark Linkous, the creative force behind Sparklehorse who sadly passed away in March of this year.

Artists/bands will be playing covers of his songs and along with the occasional song either influenced by Sparklehorse or one of their own compositions arranged in the style of a Sparklehorse tune. We’re working on a couple of covers at the moment but in fear of jinxing them probably best not to say which…

Ticket info.
Entry will be a charity donation of £3 (or more if you’re feeling flush) and you can buy them in advance online now by donating here: http://www.justgiving.com/Sparklehorsenight (If you’re a UK tax payer and choose gift aid, you’re donation will cost you the same but the government will contribute a bit extra to Mind through a charity tax incentive).
