I'm delighted that my upcoming charity fundraising MUSIC FOR LIFE event has been featured in today's Colchester Gazette.

It highlights Paul E. John and his Elton John Experience and how the musical evening at Stoke by Nayland Resort on October 29th will be raising funds for Mid and North East Essex Mind.

It also mentions the other talented artistes who will be performing and describes my own musical career and how I once performed on the TV talent show "Opportunity Knocks".

Also performing on the night will be: singer and guitarist Matt Rayner, Jazz sing Jane Stringer and Yamaha Digital Keyboard player Mark Brown.

If you haven't bought your tickets yet, there is still plenty of time (DM me for details).

Tickets will include a b**r or Prosecco and canapés on arrival, a buffet in the interval.

There are lots of fabulous prizes to be won in the Grand Charity Prize Draw which is in aid of Mind.

Thank you to the Gazette for helping us to raise funds for this worthy cause.

The excitement is building as a fortnight today I will be hosting my charity fundraising MUSIC FOR LIFE evening.

I've recently launched a new website for my business, OMNIA, to coincide with this spectacular evening of musical entertainment. (Do follow the link below and let me know your thoughts in the comments).

There will be chance to network and connect with new people during MUSIC FOR LIFE on October 29th from 6.30pm at Stoke by Nayland Resort (tickets £39.50p each or a table of 10 people for the price of 9).

You'll be able to enjoy entertainment from a talented group of local artistes, including:

🎶 Paul E John - The Elton John Experience
🎶 Singer and guitarist Matt Rayner
🎶 Vocalist Jane Stringer

🎶 Yamaha Digital Keyboard artist, Mark Brown
🎶 Myself, Bryan Mackenzie on the piano.

As my background is in music, I've been considering organising a musical event for a while and setting up office for my business, OMNIA, at the Weston Business Centre Ltd. in Colchester, seemed like the perfect opportunity.

OMNIA is an official representative locally for Vitality, so it seemed natural to fundraise for a local health charity during MUSIC FOR LIFE and I've chosen Mid and North East Essex Mind as the charity we'll be supporting on the night with a dedicated Grand Charity Draw (tickets £5 each).

We've some wonderful prizes to be won in the draw which I have been featuring in my recent posts.

Among them are: a weeks holiday in Spain; a Norfolk Broads afternoon tea cruise; garden furniture worth almost £500; golf vouchers for four people at two different venues and a spa day.

So do join us at MUSIC FOR LIFE.

It was great to sponsor Aaron Desmond's Networking Essex's meeting at Colchester Rugby Club yesterday.

I was able to share information about award-winning Vitality Healthcare and OMNIA’s upcoming Charity Fundraising Event, MUSIC FOT LIFE, in aid of Mid and North East Essex Mind at Stoke-By-Nayland Resort on October 29th from 6.30pm.

We’ve all been reading about many people across all ages having mental health concerns with which is something my company OMNIA, which is an Authorised Representative locally for Vitality, is also concerned about.

As I've just opened up an office for OMNIA in Colchester, and because my background in music, I thought I’d organise an event to launch the office and extended it to raise funds for charity.

Because of all the press coverage and the emphasis that Vitality is now putting on mental health well-being, we're hosting this very fantastic evening in aid or Mind.

Paul E. John, who is a friend of mine, will be presenting his Elton John Experience. It's a fantastic act with great sound and lighting.

We also have a jazz singer, a guitar singer-songwriter, an Yamaha Organ player and I will be playing the keyboard.

We’ve organised an absolutely brilliant range of raffle prizes for the Charity Grand Draw, such as a weeks stay at a property of Mar Menor Golf Resort in Spain; a weekend at a hotel in Eastbourne; an afternoon cruise on the Norfolk broads in the Spring; four-ball golf vouchers and garden furniture.

Your ticket includes welcome drink, b**r, Prosecco and canapes and there's also an interval buffet.

Vitality shares enhanced value insurance, and Omni is taking that one step further with this and other planned events.

It would be lovely if you can come along.
