I was deeply saddened to hear that an old pal of SLF's, Paul Fox from The Ruts, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. While Paul will continue to work, this will obviously become more and more difficult for him. So, some pals of his have decided to hold a couple of benefit shows and auction/sell off some memorabilia. To that end, I'll be auctioning off a guitar on eBay later this month (June 25th is start date). You can check it out here:

Hope we can raise a lot of money to help out one of the true gentlemen of this business.

Cheers !

Jake.

Terrible news about Paul...he doesn't deserve that. F'ing cancer..I hate it. My best to him and his family.

Re:guitar
Oh yes - that's nice. I do want it...altho' my music has borrowed a lot from, nay...been inspired by...Jake's music over the years, a little more wouldn't hurt. I wonder how much my bank manager likes me !!
No Daffy duck sticker tho' !!

Thanx for giving me MY creed, I'll try to stay on side.

Grew up listening to many bands and The Ruts were one of them.
Lost my best mate Doug to the god awful disease last September, it’s a curse on us all.
I hope the auction raises a bundle and it helps Paul and his family in the most difficult of times.

Great price and for a great cause, seems like cancer is singling out all these legends what with my friend and guitar goddess Kelly Johnson (ex Girlschool) sadly passing away after a 6 year battle with cancer and it finally taking her on the 15th July 2007, funeral was well attended and represented from a few Punk bands as well. Gonna miss that girl. R.I.P. Kelly.
