What an incredibly generous man Pete Shrimpton is driving 21/2 hrs up t’north and gifting his Roland kit. All serviced and PAT tested and on its way to a children’s home in Leeds that has a group offering music lessons workshops and performances for kids in the care system in the Leeds area. They really wanted an ekit that was good enough for performance but also so kids could plug their headphones in and not disrupt others in the home
