Black Velvet Matthew Leone Photo Order Page
Matthew Leone of Madina Lake was beaten unconscious in the street at the end of June when he heroically stepped in to try to help a woman that was being beaten by her husband. Matthew unfortunately ended up being beaten to the ground and unconscious and was later rushed to hospital. He's now slowly recovering, after having surgery to cut a part of his skull off due to the swelling of his brain - and then another surgery to reapply this part of his skull once the swelling had subsided. Matthew's medical insurance had lapsed just two months prior, so funds are now being raised for him. (You can read Matthew's brother Nathan's blog about it all at http://madinaswan.tumblr.com). Donations can be sent to http://bit.ly/matthewleonefund
Since Black Velvet loves Madina Lake, not for just the music they make but also because they are awesome people, we wanted to do our little bit to try and help. We have made some 12" x 8" glossy b&w Matthew Leone photo collage prints which we are asking £5 for. This £5 will be forwarded to Matthew's fund.
Not only that but anyone who orders a photo will also get a FREE copy of Black Velvet 61 which had our last interview with Matthew in (this on its own usually costs £2.50), while stocks last. You can read what an awesome, thoughtful guy he is!
If you already have issue 61 you can request another Black Velvet back issue instead. Check www.blackvelvetmagazine.com/backissues.htm for info.
We will forward the full £5 to the Sweet Relief fund (we will pay for the cost of printing the photos, all postage costs ourselves). Although we do ask for an additional £1 to cover part of the postage costs to mail the photo to those outside of the UK (blame Royal Mail for their prices!)
Here's a small pic of the photo collage that you will receive:
