"I just thought I would inform you of a rather cool gig happening this
Wednesday (short notice - sorry, I forgot) @ Subterania in Notting Hill
(LONDON).

The name of the night is 'Still I Rise' and it's in aid of Body + Soul,
an AIDS charity for women and children. The wicked line-up, which
includes a mixture of live and DJ'd drum + bass is as follows:

4 HERO + THE REINFORCED CREW
BRYAN GEE
DJ LADY MISS KIER (of DEE-LITE)
NICOLETTE
A GUY CALLED GERALD
DRUM FM (Marque Gilmore + DJ LeRouge + MC Tricksta + Mannafest)
J Magik
MC GQ

And lots more people who I can't remember/don't know yet...

The reason I know about the gig is that I'm playing the violin with the
DRUM FM crew, so if anyone decides to come along, then don't be scared to
come and say 'hi', or anything else you feel like saying. I'm not scary,
I'll be the small girl with the big trainers and the wispy hair...

love Emmma xxxxxx"

(Presumably, Gerald flew back from the USA to England for this gig and then immediately back out again for the rest of the Tricky tour?)

(Presumably didn't take place as he was playing in London that night - unless he flew by Concorde!)

"Also along for the Tricky ride is the DJ extravaganza known as A Guy Called Gerald. A legend in his own right, A Guy Called Gerald is known for practically starting house music with his pounding, sweaty insistent electronic mantra "Voodoo Ray." This ain't no party, this ain't no disco — this is a fucking lab experiment."
