Dear everyone 

Back from a dream-like concert in the incredible setting of the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo in Firenze, Italy, yesterday… Should be able to show you more about this show soon, I put up this short video snippet as a reel and in the meantime I’ll be putting up stories today on my Instagram (remember I also archive these, so you can always find them later).

So… a little late for my now traditional Bandcamp for animal shelters fundraising initiative, because it’s not easy to travel AND fundraise at the same time – last BC Friday was also on a return day from a show, which is why I even missed it completely.

We still have about 17 hours left to support our friends the galgos (Spanish greyhounds), but this time in the Buenos Aires area. A quick look at Hogaramordegalgo will give you the very sad information that galgos have it just as bad over there as in Spain, and just as in Spain, galgo rescue organizations are desperate for funds because they not only have to rescue a lot of galgos, those dogs also come in terrible conditions, sometimes to the point of not making it alive, and so vet expenses are huge.

You can find the songs and EPs that are part of this project exclusively on Bandcamp HERE (they are clearly marked as FOR ANIMAL SHELTERS), I will donate 100% of what you give, even if you give once Bandcamp Friday is over.

Once again, please feel free to see this project as an invitation to donate directly  (even 1$ will end up making a difference if many of us join) and to spread the word about these particular dogs, the situation faced by independent shelters (which in most places are the only organizations doing anything, since official shelters are also full to the brim) and the importance of adopting, not buying. 

With much gratitude

Cécile
