SYGC in Van Accident
We are saddened to announce that The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir was in a serious auto accident today. They are in hospitals receiving medical attention; most of them being treated for minor injuries. We will post more information as we can. Our thoughts are with them.
UPDATE (9/25): Ethan, Jay and Alison were treated and released from the hospital.
UPDATE (9/25): To offset medical and equipment expenses, a PayPal donation account has been set up in the band's name:

Hi,
I worked the MPMF and was horrified to find out that one of the bands was in an accident. I am praying for all of you and hope you have a speedy recover. I am posting on my facebook that any one who can help with medical bills will do so.
God bless all of you.

I just wanted to drop a line and say thanks, sorry and best wishes for everybody's full recovery. I hope you can come back and play here at some point. I'm sure it would be a well attended show.

Dear SYGC,
Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope that you are all well very, very soon. I'm sending you all positive vibes - they are 100% guaranteed.
Elia - you upset my mom by getting hurt; how dare you! you'd better get over here and show her that you're ok, and promise to never get hurt again. you're ruining it for the rest of us - she won't even let me play nerf football while encased in bubble wrap.
With love, and cocoa mousse cake,
Jack

We're accepting donations at the store, if that's any easier for anyone. I'm sure that the Buzz Cafe where Mary works would do the same.
Thanks for keeping us all posted

Such horrible news, and we were so looking forward to your show at Midpoint.

Hey, Elia it's your banjo teacher
Peace to you and all of your bandmates. I played a track from your new album on WLUW on Wednesday afternoon. Your spirit has moved through the universe through your music and your life.
I remeber Saturday afternoon meetings on Racine. I have not gone to them, but I could nowadays. My cleanliness is next to Godliness.
I wish you the best, and I can spare an electric guitar if you need one.
Love and grace,
David Bragman
Thinking of You
hope you guys get well and are perfectly mended real soon. we luv ya and are sending good wishes out to you and your family for a speedy recovery. -- the staff of Rock For Kids
I'm just heartbroken over this!
Started today's show with SYGC, with a cut from when they were in to play live on my show! I'm crossing everything from paws to toes in the family, that everyone heals well, without further incident and completely! Razor and I send positive healing friendship vibes to the band (and their families, who must be going thru so much!) We hope to see every member up and about soon soon soon! And on our show to celebrate when all is said and done!
Many hugs and kisses to SYGC, their families and all of the Bloodshot bunch.

Here's to a speedy recovery
We'll spill some from our cups tonight and think of you all. Hope you're in good health soon, I'll give what I can and try to pry some dollars out of whoever will listen.

My heartfelt best wishes to the whole band. My old band had the pleasure of sharing a gig with Mary when she was with The Expatriates at Elbo Room, and I recently met the rest of the gang by happenstance at Pick Me Up Cafe. They are truly wonderful people and I wish them the speediest of recoveries.
the Choir
We received word of the Choir's accident via Brighton MA and reposted it to our network ... Glad to hear everyone's gonna be OK...
I hope everyone is OK!
I'll definitely pass along word of this page. I'm SO sorry to hear about this. I've been following news of the band, as I have several friends who have told me how great they are! I love what's I've heard!
