El Camino de Santiago - Summer 2004










I walked from Saint-Jean-Pie-de-Port in France to Santiago de Compostela. I left Saint-Jean on the 6th of July and arrived 500 miles later in Santiago on the 4th of August.

I met lots of great people along the way. Declan and I walked together on and off. Conversations sometimes lasted for a couple of days.

I spent an afternoon in Leon with my dad and Charlie.







The camino is the best thing I've ever done.

¡Ánimo Peregrino!

Skydive - Summer 2003


During the summer of 2003 Gordon Russell and I jumped out of a plane to raise money for childline. I jumped on the 23rd March. Unfortunatley I was the last to jump that day because of weather conditions not being what they had to be. Gordon jumped at a later date. I'll post his pics when I get them from him.







The Big Band





The first rehearsal of the michael brawley big band was the 26th April 1995.






Recently we won a Gold award at the concert band festival in Glasgow. We have been invited to the national finals in Cardiff next year.




Over the years our concerts and dances have raised thousands of pounds for various charities.

O

ur main charity since 2005 has been the poverty stricken town of Chimbote in Peru.
