Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. Raised Over £2000 For Pakistan

• 25th Aug 2010

Sam [Get Cape] Duckworth partnered with Oxfam last week to help raise money for those affected by the floods in Pakistan. Sam put himself up for auction on Ebay, offering to play in the house of the highest bidder.

We can now reveal that Sam attracted over 40 bids and raised a total of £2,110

The highest bidder lives in Worcester, and will be serenaded by Sam with an intimate gig at his house!

Sam says of the auction:

“A higher than usual monsoon season in Pakistan has caused flooding to ravage this beautiful country. Infrastructure has collapsed, 4 million people are left homeless, malnourished and in desperate need of aid, the biggest natural disaster in many years.

As a result I put a note up on facebook seeing if anyone would be interested in donating money to the DEC/Oxfam appeal in exchange for an 'in your house' acoustic gig. Response was overwhelming. As a result I have decided to put it up for auction via the oxfam eBay store.

Happy bidding, let's hope we can raise a lot of money to help this nation in times of desperate need”
