The Sid Worth Memorial Tribute Fund is run by a group of volunteers, and our
aim is to raise money which we can then use to help young musicians. The fund
was started in memory of Sid Worth, a local musician and owner of Live Sounds in
Bedford, who tragically died in September 2002. Sid was a great friend and
guiding light to many local musicians, and the fund aims to continue his good
work.

The Sid Worth Fund is proud to have
contributed £150 to the Ben Poole Band, to help them
with the distribution of their superb new CD. Recorded
at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, the album was
mastered by their friend and tutor Ace, ex-Skunk Anansie.
We can verify that the CD sounds great, the band are on
top form, and we were pleased to see them at Esquires on
July 4th supporting the mighty Hamsters!

The Sid Worth
Committee needs new members!
We
will be re-electing new officers for the committee in
late May, and we desperately need new people to come on
board and help keep the spirit of Sid alive.
You
don't need to be a musician, you don't need any skills
other than enthusiasm, a sense of humour and the
ability to put aside a couple of hours a month to do a
bit of good for the musical community in Bedford!
All
ages wanted too!
If
you are interested, drop us a line at
