31.12.2008 - Turisas - Kaveria ei jätetä - konsertit ja hyväntekeväisyyshuutokauppa 2.1./3.1.
Tampereen Pakkahuoneella 2.1. ja Helsingissä kulttuuriareena Gloriassa 3.1. järjestettävät Kaveria Ei Jätetä -konsertit keräävät varoja hyvään tarkoitukseen. Konserttien tuotot käytetään lyhentämättöminä vapaaehtoiseen nuorison päihde- ja mielenterveystyöhön: Mielenterveysyhdistys Taimi ry:lle Tampereella ja Pirkanmaalla sekä Aseman Lapset ry:lle Helsinkiin ja muualle Suomeen.
Konserteissa esiintyvät mm. Timo Rautiainen, Timo Kotipelto, STAM1NA, Leverage sekä Medicated. Tilaisuuden juontaa lempeä jättiläinen Jussi Lampi. Konserttien ohessa (sekä etukäteen netissä) järjestetään myös hyväntekeväisyyshuutokauppa, josta kertyvät varat menevät samaan kohteeseen. Meklarina toimii Raimo ”Höyry ” Häyrinen, ja esinelahjoitukset ovat tulleet muun muassa useilta eturivin rock- ja metalliyhtyeiltä. Koko tapahtuman suojelijana toimii Martti Ahtisaari.
Turisas lähti mukaan hankkeeseen lahjoittamalla myytäväksi aidon "The Varangian Way" -taustalakanan, jonka koko on noin 1,5 x 3 m, ja se näkyy mm. uuden DVD:n keikkataltioinneilla. Kyseinen lakana on ainoa laatuaan, ja taatusti keikkoja nähnyt yksilö.
Huuda itsellesi todellinen keräilyharvinaisuus ja tue samalla arvokasta työtä!
Toimi nopeasti - nettihuutokauppa sulkeutuu 1.1. kello 24.00!
