Big thanks to everyone who bid on Rod’s charity tour auction last month – and especially to the winners! With your generosity we raised over £12,000 for Truants children’s charities which is split between three very deserving causes – Nordoff Robbins, ChildLine and the Teenage Cancer Trust. You can see more at www.thetruantsuk.com

And of course, thanks to the band for signing items for us, and a special thanks to Bruce for donating one of his Bruce Aeris pilot watches.

Rod wants YOU!! To bid on his stuff for charity…

As promised, we’ll have more mixing desk opportunities for the North American leg of the tour available soon, in a new auction going live in a couple of weeks. We’ve raided the office for some more bits and bobs, had a dig around the archive for a classic gold disc and Rod’s pulled his personal Somewhere Back In Time tour jacket out from the depths of his closet.

We’ll also have some goodies from the tour but you’ll have to wait and see what we can lay our hands on…

Oh and a guitar signed by the whole band!

Watch this space.
