Benefit Concert For Man Injuried In Attack September 18

Mick Hargreaves

On July 31 2011, Mick Hargreaves was brutally attacked after the July 30th debut of his band Mick Hargreaves & The King Guys. He is currently recuperating from severe head injuries.  The medical attention needed to recover from the attack has been extremely costly and Hargreaves does not have medical insurance.  His friends are holding benefit concerts to help with his medical expenses.

A benefit concert is taking place on Long Island
Sunday, September 18, 3:00 pm at the Greenlawn Moose Lodge
631 Pulaski Road in Greenlawn

Cost is $20

It is sure to be a memorable evening as a whole host of musicians perform their hearts out for a friend.
