From Jake of Stiff Little Fingers:

“I just found out a few days ago that an old friend of ours, Paul Fox from The Ruts, is terminally ill with cancer. Although he’s trying to keep working for as long as he can, this is obviously going to become progessively difficult. Therefore some friends of Paul’s are organising a benefit night for him at the Crown & Treaty pub, 90 Oxford Rd. in Uxbridge, Middlesex on the 7th July. www.myspace.com/crownandtreatClick here for details

There will also be a second benefit in London. Sadly, I can’t make it over there to play, much as I would like to. So, I’ve decided to donate a couple of things to an auction. First, will be a couple of the ever popular signed stage shirts ! These I’ll send to the Crown & Treaty. Secondly, I’ll be putting the black Epiphone acoustic guitar I played on “Harp” & the “Hope St.” album on eBay which will give folks who can’t be there a chance to bid on something. I know you guys have been incredibly generous in the (very) recent past, but I thought you’d probably want to help again as I’m sure Paul (and The Ruts) mean a lot to most of you as well. Look for another email (and announcement on www.slf.com) soon about ehe Ebay auction of the guitar. All the best, Jake.”
