Cricket event scheduled in memory of Jim Fletcher, with music industry organizing it to raise funds
🔥 Here's a fresh, uninhibited take on that music industry tribute event! 🔥
Let's Party Like Jim Fletcher: A Celebration You Don't Want to Miss
Prepare yourself, music enthusiasts! On September 11, we're gathering at the East Molesey Cricket Club (KT8 9AL) to pay tribute to the one and only, Jim Fletcher. This legendary Columbia marketing exec departed us way too soon back in 2011, leaving us at the ripe old age of 33. So, let's raise a glass and belt out a few tunes in his honor! 🍻
The fun kicks off at 6pm sharp, and you better believe it's gonna be a night to remember. We've got a cracking cricket match lined up, some scrumptious grub, and refreshing tipples to keep the spirits high. And hey, if you're feeling extra nostalgic, channel your inner Fletcher and crack open a beverage of choice. Who knows? You might just hit a six! 🏏
Now here's the cool part: this tribute event is not just about remembering our fallen comrade, but also about raising some dough for Crohn's & Colitis UK. After all, Jim fought a brave battle against Colitis throughout his life. So, if you've got a few quid to spare, why not donate through our JustGiving page [insert link]? Every penny counts, mate! 💰
Dave Rajan of Got Your Back put it perfectly, "Jim is the embodiment of why we work in this industry – a young dreamer who ended up working with acts he adored. He was a bloody incredible man, a top-notch marketer in the music biz, and an avid music lover. Jim was close pals with the Manic Street Preachers, and he played a crucial role in their albums while at Columbia. His marketing and promotional campaigns were bloody brilliant!" 🎉
Now, you might be wondering, what's the deal with the cricket match, you ask? Well, let me tell you a little tale. After Jim's funeral, an impromptu game of cricket was played – a tradition we're continuing this year. The funeral was packed to the brim with those who loved and missed him. It was such a turnout that many were standing by the doors, round the walls, even outside! Post-funeral, the music industry came together at a beautiful little village cricket green to celebrate Jim with a relaxed game. 🏆
In closing, Jim knew countless people in the music industry, and we'd adore if you'd join us in sharing your love and memories of him. For more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to Dave Rajan at Got Your Back: [email protected] 📧
