The 2nd Cheeky Fest will be on Thurs 10th April '25 at Ram Jam Records in Kingston, London. Buy tickets for 10 UKP + booking fee at Eventbrite.
Thank you very much to Alejandro Sesma for the proverbial push, encouragement, guidance with the website and for making the campaign video(s). I wouldn't have done it without his help. It means a lot to have someone ‘on board’, who sees the value / importance of what I was / am trying to do / did & help me to make it a reality. He came along with his partner and a friend.
Thank you very much to Joy at the Ram Jam for letting us use the space for free, creating an event page on their website & creating / updating a flyer / poster, and for Noah for taking care of the sound and the bar on the night.
Thank you to all of the PERFORMERS; it was wonderful to you in person.
Dead Blood Cells are an Industrial/Dark wave band
Jessie Morrell is a songwriter / singer / pianist; jazz, ballads & rock ‘n’ roll.
Adam Wedd is a human singer, songwriter, producer with an MA in Songwriting.
Paradise Taxi are a fresh indie-pop-rock band; punchy alt-rock riffs & funky hooks.
Conor Morrisey - singer-songwriter & pianist - beautiful melodies enthused with drama
Thank you to Tilly for interviewing me & posting this event summary on Kingston nub news.
People donated £625 to Nordoff & Robbins through Enthuse
Thank you to everyone else who came to listen to the music and support Nordoff & Robbins. Two of my oldest friends, my niece, my middle brother & his wife came, which was lovely. It was awesome to meet Dean — someone I’ve been chatting with on Facebook for some months, and his family in person.
It was great to see musicians & audience members connecting with each other. It’s lovely to know that people connected through sharing similar interests & experiences. I saw my brother talking to someone else in the audience who also plays the piano. Someone who was there told me about a brief exchange they’d initiated with Jessie on social media; Jessie said she found it comforting to hear that someone else had gone through a similar journey.
We raised £865 for Nordoff & Robbins; donations via Enthuse (£625) & 30 tickets (£10 / £5) which raised £250. I donated 250 (+gift aid = 266) to N&R.

Now I’m starting to think about the next one next year.
How can I make it more financially sustainable for me?
I 'lost'
*I'd agreed to pay Jessie £50 to over transport. I thought it would be fair to pay the others as well, even though they'd agreed to play for free. I paid the other Acts £40 each; Adam, Conor, Dead Bloodcells (£20 each) & Paradise Taxi (£10 each). Part of my purpose for Cheeky Fest is to help artists, musicians & performers to support themselves; it's imperative to pay them.
Sponsor, anyone? Easter? Who’s coming?
