Andy at Slayerfest '05

[Angelic Slayer]

Someone who was involved with the "Slayerfest" Charity Event back in 2005 finally posted an hour and a half long video of Andy Hallett's appearance for anyone who didn't see it live. Apparently it was a charity event to raise money to install a lift for disabled patrons to gain access to the main auditorium at the Caxton Theatre, and he was one of the final speakers to lend their time that day. I haven't had a chance to go through the *whole* video yet but apparently it's very good, and they said some very kind words about him in the description. So far I'm only a couple minutes in and he's singing, so already it's worth a quick watch for me. 🙂

For anyone interested, here it is!

The truly wonderful Andy Hallett, in person at the Caxton Theatre Grimsby. Rogue Independence Events ran a series of events known as Slayerfest to raise funds to install a lift for disabled patrons to gain access to the main auditorium at the Caxton Theatre. The theatre is run as a charity and the events were all run by volunteers and staffed primarily by youth theatre members. Thanks to Sean Harry of Starfury Events, Andy Hallett was the last of a series of great guests having had to cancel a year earlier due to seriously ill health. This recording remains one of my favourite possessions and gives me so much pleasure. Andy Hallett was a madman and loved by everyone. His passing saddens me and continues to do so every time I think about him. I am releasing this film on YouTube for everyone to continue to get pleasure from the man and his love of life. I don't ask for payment for this film but you might consider making a donation to the British Heart Foundation in Andy's name http://www.bhf.org.uk/get-involved/do... We now have a lift which allows elderly and disabled patrons access to the arts. Thanks to evryone involved. RIP Andy Hallett.
