How to Donate

1. Buy a CD of "Scorn not the Strings". To order a CD email me via enquiries@dupfolk.co.uk or simply click on the link at the bottom of this page. The CD costs £5 and all this will be donated to the British Dupuytren's Society.

2. You can also download "Scorn not the Strings for $9.99 (about £7.40) for the album or $0.99 (about 74p) per track. For details, go to https://trevorryder.hearnow.com or click on the image of the album cover on the right. This money is also donated in full to the British Dupuytren's Society.

3. If you don't want the music, but just want to make a donation, go direct to the British Dupuytren's Society website at dupuytrens-society.org.uk, or click on the British Dupuytren's Society logo wherever you see it on this website. However, please mention me when you make a donation - as I get brownie points if you do.

4. I would also be delighted to give a presentation about Dupuytren's and how it has affected me (illustrated with some music, if you'd like) to anyone who might be interested in raising some money for a worthwhile cause.If you can organise a venue (or, in these times I can do this by"Zoom"). I would suggest you ask for a minimal entry fee (even free?) and I'll hopefully sell a few CD's or drum up other donations as the event progresses. To discuss a presentation contact me via enquiries@dupfolk.co.uk or simply click on the link at the bottom of this page.

5. Whenever I play a folk music gig, either as a solo performer or with the Four Foot Band (below),  I will donate any fees I earn to the British Dupuytren's Society:-

The Four Foot Band (aka The Four Foot Three, Four Foot Four or Four Foot Five, depending on how many of us are available or needed) is a very flexible band who can give you an evening of music, song, dance or a combination of all three.
