I was researching the fire aid event under the Twitter hashtag #fireaid4ymm and I found some fabulous newspaper articles about the event, supported by amazing collections of photographs of the artists, musicians and fans who attended.
I am just going to mention a couple. The first article “Fire Aid concert rocks Commonwealth” contains an article describing the event and a fabulous collection of over 75 brilliant professional photographs taken of all the artists, musicians and fans. This was published on the Edmonton Oilers national league hockey team official team page at oilers.nhl.com. The collection included some wonderful photographs of Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies including Cory Tetford and Kendel Carson doing their stuff in the sunshine. I have circulated a copy of this article on my Google + page. Just follow the links to the gallery.
The second article was from CBC Edmonton titled “Fort Murray Fire Aid Currently Hits 2M Goal” by Zoe Todd and published on 30 June, 2016. This article also contains a fabulous collection of professionally taken photographs including a couple of Alan Doyle. I have circulated a copy that article on my Google + page for those interested.
Alan Doyle who co-hosted the event and also played for 15 minutes with The Beautiful Gypsies took photographs and tweeted fans from his unique position on the stage of all the acts and fans in the audience. This was really appreciated by those of us who couldn’t be there. I have included a copy of a couple of his tweets and photographs from his official Twitter site and official Instagram site because I love them and the story they tell. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks to all the artists, musicians, fans and paid professionals who shared their fabulous stories and images via social media. There was a great collection of fan stuff including selfies, photographs, short videos and reflections for the events and concert. I really enjoyed looking at these too.
