“Once Again, One Day”​ Supporting Aid For Japan

Nigel May 13, 2012 No Comments

We first met Aaron Jaunty at our picnic last year and since then we discovered he is hard at work making a name for himself in the music world.

He recently released a EP called Once Again, One Day produced by K-Nite 13. You can listen to it on his website.

 

The album was entirely written by Aaron during his visit to Japan when he landed on the day of the 2011 tsunami.

You can listen to it out here for free, or you can pay £5 (or more if you want) for the download and CD version.  I got mine this past week 🙂

 

All the proceeds toward the EP go to Aid For Japan’s ongoing efforts to support children affect by the tragedy last year. Give it a listen and pick up the CD if you like what you here – show your support for a good cause.

We have more pictures from the mayamada picnic the past month. Look out for a few videos from the day and a behind the scenes look as me put together the mayamada cupcakes 🙂

 

Thankfully umbrellas weren’t needed all day!


Everyone got stuck into the cakes as soon as they came out.

Everyone waited in anticipation for the t-shirt giveaway

One of the lucky t-shirt winners…

We’ll have to do another next summer.  Check out our Facebook page for all the photos.

Mayamda Super Fun (and Only Slightly Damp) Picnic Time!

Nigel August 22, 2011 No Comments

There are a few things we at mayamada learned over the weekend.

  • Don’t trust British weather or weathermen.
  • Touchscreen phones don’t work too well in a downpour.
  • Good people will come through whatever the weather.

This past Saturday saw the first mayamada picnic this weekend, but it almost didn’t happen.  It started off well when we got to the park and unpacked everything in the middle of Hyde Park…and then came the rain!

After getting very wet, buying a few emergency umbrellas, a shower curtain and deck chairs for an improvised tent…we decided that we couldn’t wait out the rain and found nearby cover.

But the great thing is people still turned up, and once the rain cleared we went from this….

To this.

A really great turn out considering the early downpour.

Of course, we had mayamada cupcakes on show again…

…and things turned out well in the end – high five!

For all the planning you do beforehand for an event, it’s highly likely things will not go to, well, plan. Don’t let that fact put you off planning though. Just remember to stay flexible and positive so when things go a little off the rails you can still have a good time – and we did! A big thanks to everyone that came down to make it a super fun time 🙂

Look our for more pictures on our Facebook page.  If you were there on the day be sure to let us know what you though too.

Super Fun Picnic Time!

It’s now only a few weeks until our picnic in Hyde Park and the excitement is building.

We’ll be in Hyde Park on the 20th of August for a fun day out to celebrate the end of summer, mayamada style.  We’ll have FREE food and drink, a t-shirt giveaway and a few other surprises too 🙂

We recently got a bunch flyers printed to hand out and we’re putting together the menu and plans for entertainment.  You keep up with our plans for the day on the event page.
