In Memory Of Lesley Caruana



The Springboard team would like to dedicate the 2011 Cottingham Springboard Free Live Music Festival to the memory of Lesley Caruana, who passed on in December after a long and determined fight against cancer. Wife of Dennis who organises the sound at Venue 1 (The King Billy), Lesley actively supported the festival and the Springboard organisers and musicians right from the festival's beginning. From her hospitality to the festival's performers to her inspiration of individual musicians, she was a great friend to many many people, and will be sorely missed by the Springboard community.

She is stardust
She is golden
And she's found her way
Back to the garden
