Remembering jonny howlett
An all day rave in memory of an unbelievable talent and friend.
This Saturday at The Ferret will be an all dayer in memory of our friend Jonny Howlett who died suddenly from an undiagnosed condition last year which affected so many of us in the community and in Preston’s underground music scene.
Jonny was unbelievably talented; he didn't just make his own music, but worked alongside some amazing artists, some of which will be showcasing tracks that they produced together live and also by DJ’s on the night!
It's going to be really special, so for anyone who knew Jonny l urge you to come and be a part of it, celebrating his life, his achievements, and reflecting on how he touched all of our hearts with his kindness, humour and unique personality!
Doors open at 3PM and we will be partying till late! It is free entry but donations are welcome which are being raised for AMEND, (Association for multiple endocrine neoplasia disorders).
Donations welcome: Click here to donate
Hope to see you all down there for a right good rave up that Jonny would be proud of!
On behalf of Jonny's family, his sister Kirsty said: "This weekend would have been Johnathan’s 46th birthday. As a family we remain devastated at his sudden death from an illness we were not aware he had. We are grateful for the continued support of family and friends.
“The event at The Ferret is a fitting tribute to honour his musical talent whilst highlighting and raising awareness for Amend the charity who supported us and helped us understand the rare illness that caused his sudden and devastating death."
A local radio presenter and DJ who worked closely with Jonny, Jadie Swales-Barnes, said: "He was unbelievably talented; he didn't just make his own music, but worked alongside some amazing artists, some of which will be showcasing tracks that they produced together live.
“You will also hear Jonny’s own music played by DJs on the night which has been put together by Nick Almond, a local DJ and event organiser who shared many years of friendship with Jonny and has rallied together friends, family and musicians who knew and worked alongside Jonny, to all have input on how the event will go - it's been great team work.
"It's going to be really special, we are welcoming all to come and be a part of it. We are celebrating his life, his achievements and reflecting on how he touched all of our hearts with his kindness, humour and unique personality!"
Doors for the event open at 3pm with DJs playing in the garden; the party then moves inside later in the evening for live performances, before the night ends with more DJ’s taking you through until 2am.
On the day, you can expect underground electronic music, including techno, house, ambient, drum and bass, jungle and more!
