4th annual Journey convention announced

[*Laura]

On JSS ONLINE!.


03 January 2007

"The 4th Annual Journey Convention takes place on February 24th at the Corporation, Sheffield, England. As in previous years, the event is dedicated to celebrating all that was and is one of the greatest AOR bands ever, Journey.

Special guests at the convention this year will again be ‘The Essential Journey’, who are the only UK Journey tribute band, together with Jagged Edge, a great rock covers band who throw in a few Journey classics here and there.

Join us in rocking the afternoon and evening away while raising money for Children’s cancer charities. The event would not be complete without renown DJ Stevie E as Master of Ceremonies, driving the bidding up during the auction and playing some of the best AOR music, past and present.

Supported by the band themselves and their management in the USA, the event will again include rare footage, quizzes, raffles, charity auction, a few surprises and two great bands. So for a chance to re-live your youth and celebrate the enduring magic and music of Journey which is still going strong today, come along and join us."

Tickets are available from www.ticketweb.co.uk

Is anyone in the UK going?

I'm definitely going to be there, coz I'm one of the organisers. For your information this is the fourth Journey convention we've organised. The first convention attracted 13 people (not very well advertised). The second attracted around 80 people and the third, last May, attracted over 350 and raised over £2000 for charity. This year, we are hoping for an even bigger turnout.

Starting at 2pm it promises to be a great day. The convention itself finishes at around 9-9.30, but after that the venue (The Corporation, Sheffield) opens up to the general public with its normal rock disco, so you can continue to enjoy rock music into the early hours of the morning.

I don't see why. The convention is open to all comers (subject to the £12 entry fee, of course) and we have some fabulous items for the charity auction, provided by the band themselves. We're also hoping to show some pretty rare visual and audio material.

I may well go, although its a long way from where i live i might search out a good hotel. Im a big JSS fan and not bothered too much about being jumped on by Augeri wrigglers, in fact if they are young and attractive bring it on....
