Musicians in Charlottetown are pooling their talent to raise funds for Japanese tsunami relief.

In the wake of the fatal tsunami and earthquake in Japan, some talented — and fast-acting — Island musicians are playing a coffee house at Timothy’s World Flavours from 2-5 tomorrow afternoon.

Those musicians include Milks and Rectangles and Boxer the Horse’s Christian Ledwell, Meaghan Blanchard, Cory Roper and Morgan Palmer, with local emerging act The Manifolds and VanWoes and Ryan Merry. All proceeds are going to the Red Cross.

"Tsunami relief is weighing on the minds of many,” said Palmer, who is performing a set in the fundraiser with her longtime partner, Roper. “I know that Charlottetown has a great number of global thinkers and I know this coffee house will be a huge success because of the community."

The recommended donation is $5, but generosity is encouraged.

I wish them all the best - this is wonderful. Well said Tony. Shelly, your life would be so much better if you thought positively instead of negatively - you would be so much happier.

Bravo! Considering Japanese links to the Island in culture and tourism this is a thoughtful gesture that is bound to be appreciated. Well done and spread the word.

I hope this isn't the same as the money that was sent to Haiti! Still sitting in a bank somewhere and not getting to the people that need it!

Musicians can achieve more in a day than certain MLA's can do in a year. Well done & good luck.
