K’s plunge to a soggy Kent field has yet again been postponed (after sitting around drinking tea and needing a wee in a freezing hut all day). After a snowy start, the wind crept up, then died down, looked hopeful… then the snow melted and made the runway too soggy to get to the aeroplane, let alone take off. So the skydive will now take place on April 10th… weather permitting. Please do a sun dance, get any more sponsorship in and come on down to Headcorn on the day to take the piss out of K in a giant multi-coloured condom suit.
Clear Blue Skydiving postponed, for a clearer sky
Hello peeps,
Just a quick message to say many many many thanks for your generous sponsorship of me stupidly falling 15,000 feet in aid of rock n roll. Sadly due to a waterlogged runway, we didnt jump on Saturday and its been postponed to Feb, so I’ll let you know, with photos of me looking like a colourful condom et al when it happens. Big love to you all, and raise a glass to Wiz today to celebrate what would have been his 48th birthday. I’m sure he’d hate me telling you his age….! Kxxx

The ‘Meat of Fleet’
Hi all, hows you this very Wednesday? Good I hope. Anyway, a wee bit of news for you to get you outta the house for a Xmas celebratory aural onslaught… The ‘Meat of Fleet’ Compilation is a collective of bands from, well… Fleet who are playing a gig at the West End Centre, Aldershot on Sat 11th Dec to celebrate the release of the compilation CD.
VERY kindly, the bands have offered to donate the proceeds from the CD sales on the night to the Forward 4 Wiz trust. This is young musicians helping other young musicians at its best, so here at F4Wt, we’re more than a lil choked in thanks. So… get along on the night to see the meat, and possibly some gristle, of all things musical made in Fleet.
Line up includes Formal, Red Line Atlantic, Quays, Teeth & Tusks and Charlotte Clark all for a measley £6! For more info and tickets visit www.3hants.gov.uk/westendcentre or call 01252 330040 become a fan and find out what its about by taking a look here.
And before you run away back to the kettle, a sneaky lil birdy is whispering in your ear… On Saturday 19th Dec, as a special Xmas surprise, the one, the only, Mr. Gerry Bryant will be gracing the Westy stage once again in the Xmas Tag Team event. Along with Hold Your Horse Is (one of F4Wt’s favourite bands) and members of many others (including Reuben, Hundred Reasons, Dive Dive et al).
Tickets are proving to be hotter than explosive mince pies, so grab them quickly. £6 from the Westy website or from the box office on 01252 330040.
I’ll be there, and probably a bit tipsy, so say hello!
Love n sherry

K to plunge 15,000 feet in the name of charity
On 16 Jan 2010, Chair Trustee Karina will don a silly hat, tie her Cons tightly and chuck herself out of a very small plane, very high up in the sky in the name of raising a bit of cash for F4Wt’s 2010 ventures into rock. If you’d like to sponsor her, or merely suggest which Ipanema / MC4 song she should scream as she falls to her fate, then please email info@f4wt.org
K thanks you in advance for your generosity, in case she is incapable after the event

Muse release a cover of Prague as a B side to “Resistance”
In case you’ve been living in a wind tunnel, you’ll need to know that the b-side to Muse’s forthcoming single ‘Resistance’ is a cover of Mega City 4’s ‘Prague’. Released on Mon 22 Feb, it appears on the CD format only, so go buy it! Sales and radio play will bring in the trust much much needed PRS revenue to be put to good use, so request on radio shows and play loudly! Its already been picked up and played by Zane Lowe and Steve Lamaqc… go listen here.
And cheers to the Muse boys!
