We had been planning, with Emmanuel and Shekel, the organisation for people with special needs, for a return visit in 2011, ten years after Bill, Alan and Jenny made their trip. Bill was meant to go with Kenny but, because of domestic problems, could't go. Fin stepped into the breach to cover the playing engagements Bill was due to fulfil. It was a very hectic and difficult period, but we did'nt want to let Emmanuel down. In the end the whole project was a breast success with the making of a Junk garden by Kenny with help from Fin and Emmanuel and groups of young people (there were restrictions on the photographs we could upload). Fin performed at a festival and in a Scottish pub - in Jerusalem!!? With a family group with very little rehearsal This gives a flavour of the trip:
Kenny's list of materials - WOW Attached find a list of materials and tools for the project. The materials should be second hand / recycled. Any scrap material you can lay your hands on that can be hit quietly, loudly, that makes a noise, I am sure that I will find a way of adapting. Tools list also attached- safety goggles/ glasses, gloves, means of securing materials while it is cut or shaped. Please get back to me if there are any queries. I am looking forward to coming over. Kind Regards Kenny List Aluminium scaffolding pipes and clamps. Plastic draining pipes --8 lengths 6" diameter Wire/ rope / hessian rope / plastic rope. Van / car wheels / inner tubes.
