LIMITED edition DVD being sold in aid of the Guardian Angels Appeal is to have an official launch in York’s Borders book store.
The DVD features recorded highlights of a sell-out gig when more than 100 people flocked to see Acomb singer Ruby Paul perform at the City Screen in April.
The concert raised more than £500 for the appeal, but Ruby, who is a mother of two, hopes to double that amount with proceeds for the DVD. The singer-songwriter from Acomb is a dedicated supporter of the Guardian Angels Appeal.
She said: “It just seems to be a lovely way to continue promoting and raising money for the Guardian Angels and promoting the name of Guardian Angels.
“It was a really special concert as I had two young girls performing with me at City Screen. It was a really memorable occasion and it is continuing to raise more money for the appeal.”
The DVD is currently available to buy from the website www.rubypaul.com and has been sent as far away as Enfield in London.
People can also buy it from Acomb Music, Banks Music, City Screen, Philip Martin Books in Walmgate and The Press offices in Walmgate.
Borders is also stocking it and to celebrate the fact, Ruby and 16-year-old singer and musician Natalie Vass will be performing at the store on Saturday July 19, at 2pm.
The DVD featured Ruby performing with 16-year-old Natasha Merritt and 17-year-old Bethan Ratcliffe following a string of performances in Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon and London.
As already reported in The Press, we are now less than £40,000 off the appeal’s £300,000 target.
