Hi Folks,
We have cemented the lineup for the Oct. 13th memorial show for Ron Holbrook of The Welch Boys, who passed away in his sleep on August 18th of this
year.
The show will start at 5:00pm with a barbecue out back at O'Brien's. Tix will be $12 and I believe is 21+. Contact O'Brien's to see if it might be
18+.
There will also be a raffle.
1st prize: Jay Turser Fender Stratocaster Copy guitar
2nd prize: 2004 Red Sox World Series Bat
3rd prize: 2004 World Series Baseball
4th prize: 2004 Patriots World Champ Football (winner need not be present)
TIX: $5/5 for $20.
The profits of the show/raffle will go to Ronnie's two young daughters and their mother.
The night should be filled with special memories of Ron on video put together by Joseph Macon of I'm Macon Movies
In no order, the bands are:
The Blue Bloods
The Pug Uglies
Future Villain Band (Ron's high school band)
Shiner8 (another of Ron's earlier bands)
The Beantown Boozehounds
Sonic Bomb
Death & Taxes
and
The Welch Boys
Come join family, friends and loved ones on a night to Benefit his Children and celebrate his life and love: Music. Everyone is welcome.

thanks for posting this, joe.
i'll put it on the SGR homepage today.
also, i think thorp is working on a thorp/sgr combo newsletter, so we'll put it in there as well.joemaconmovies - 10-5-2007 at 10:27 AM
thanks big d.
josh, i'm pretty sure ronnie's early bands are going first and the welch boys might be ending the night. there is no lineup yet. imagine the blue
bloods, pug uglies, and the welch boys to be among the last though.BDx13 - 10-16-2007 at 11:44 AM

good friends to benefit a really good guy. big thanks to you and andy for your contribution.Pastvillian - 10-17-2007 at 07:54 PM
Hell yeah the show was a blast! Thanks Joe, TJ, Craig & all. As rusty as we (FVB) were we had a great time playing together again and putting away the
Guinness. All the bands I got to see kicked ass. Great time for a great cause...joemaconmovies - 10-17-2007 at 08:36 PM

yah, it really is. a ton of people showed up for the show. goes to show you that there were a lot of people out there who cared about ronnie and
wanted to do something about his passing.BDx13 - 10-18-2007 at 10:34 AM
how many people would you say were there?
i don't know much about sports memorabilia, but i assume those items in the raffle were kind of big ticket items? certainly sounds like it. the
person who won our item was probably like, "wtf?"!!
$4k at a single event. i really am impressed. in a situation like their's, i'm sure it'll go quick, but hopefully it helps somewhat.joemaconmovies - 10-18-2007 at 06:34 PM
it probably was a "wtf" situation with your stuff because the person who won, the mother of ron's kids knew them. they might enjoy it though. one of
the discs has ron! the place has a 75 limit but people came and went and all the bands played for free and there was no guest list except for family
members and everyone who played, or in my case, made a dvd got in for free. the place was packed. tickets for the raffle were sold for before hand
and people and going.BDx13 - 10-18-2007 at 06:41 PM
hahaha...i was afraid that would happen!
well, as long as they bought raffle tickets, that's what really matters!joemaconmovies - 10-19-2007 at 10:23 AM
true...and if they don't want them, they now have presents for kids. who knows...if the kids like that mall punk shit out now, they might enjoy some
real punk/hardcore tunes.
