Having travelled this far and achieved so much since that first modest show held at the Globe Hotel in Warwick on Friday the 18th of September 1992, I felt that it would be an injustice to the bands and people who have put so much into our venue during those ten wonderful years, if there were no “marker” to celebrate this considerable  achievement. Over the years many people have provided help at critical times in one way or another to keep us rolling along. I never cease to be amazed at people's generosity, and the fact that this CD has been produced was only due to a very generous anonymous donation to upgrade our sound system. Week in week out people gave their time and money to print programmes, posters, hand outs, made hundreds of phone calls to book bands, do the accounts, run sound systems, collect door monies, do raffles etc. etc, without any reward other than knowing  their contributions have been essential to our existence.

Bands have made important personal contributions too, many paying out of their own pockets to play here in the early days, particularly the travelling bands. Our local bands have been stalwarts, providing sound systems in our hour of need and have always been ready to step into the breach to help out in any way they could.

This CD then, is a celebration for all the people who have helped this venue survive for its first ten years, the fabulous musical nights we have enjoyed, the friendships made and maintained through the music. A simple thankyou seems inadequate but it could not be more heartfelt or sincere.
