Sheffield music lovers have offered to raise money for the NOrMAL appeal that aims to help the 3,200 professional musicians evacuated from New Orleans rebuild their lives and careers. Martin Bedford of Dog Day Music has arranged a benefit gig with the Roebuck Tavern for this coming Sunday the 9th of October at 8.30 until closing. Tommy Jones and the S.O.B. band will be performing. There will be a collection on the night. Martin’s offer to arrange this gig now expands Normal's fundraising into South Yorkshire.

Martin has also offered to represent the NOrMAL Appeal at all his regular Sunday night gigs.
