THE Ex-Military Band’s Men Welfare Committee will be holding its first fundraiser – a night of live mix music – at the National Cultural Centre on Saturday. It will feature both local and overseas musicians/artistes.

According to the committee’s chairman, John Greaves, it is a steel and bass band which will feature overseas-based singers such as Troy Smith, Cheryl Maloney, Orin Whittaker, Anthony Price, Patrick Greaves and Edmond Smith, alongside its local members and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Band.

Greaves told the Buzz that the Ex-Military Band’s Men Welfare Committee comprises retired men and women, who once served in the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). The welfare committee was formed to lend a helping hand to other servicemen.

He related that the organisation has about 35 members who reside in Guyana and overseas.

The Ex-Military Band’s Men Welfare Committee member stated that the organisation was formed two years ago but was only registered this year.

He disclosed that this will be their first fundraiser. Since their establishment, they have been receiving donations.

The office is located at 121 Block ‘E’ Sophia.

Tickets cost $3,000, $2,500 and $2,000.
