"Global Angels is truly a revolution in the way money is raised and used to help children around the world. I chose it as the benefactor of this expedition for the simple reason that I could personally direct where your donations were going, to projects that were important to me. I also felt that if i was to ask anyone to donate to my expedition, whether a member of my family or a person off of the street, then they should have the right to know exactly where their money was going. With the Global Angels promise this was easy: 100% of every penny you give goes directly to my chosen projects, no admin costs and no other hidden ‘fees’. Absolute transparency means absolute trust." We are very proud to announce that our very own Global Angels Ambassador, Bonita Norris, became the Youngest British Female to conquer Mt Everest on the 17th May 2010. Towering 8,848 metres above sea level, Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth and is appropriately known as Sagarmatha, or goddess of the sky in Nepal. Bonita took the Global Angels flag with her placing it on the peak of Everest while championing the causes of child soldiers in Uganda, and disabled children in the UK. "Never, ever stop believing in yourself. You never know where you might end up."
Tony's musical career began when he moved from his home town of Bristol to London to became an original member of the group, IRON MAIDEN, where he took on the role of keyboard/synth player. The band were unknown at that point and Tony wrote and rehearsed with them for a long time until eventually playing one fairly unsuccessful gig. It was at this point that he felt keyboards didn't really work in the band and decided to leave.
After quitting Iron Maiden Tony teamed up with Brian James (from The Damned) to form a group called Tanz Der Youth, recording one single called "I'm Sorry I'm Sorry" for Radar Records (home of Elvis Costello). Although a short lived line up, the band toured opening for The Stranglers and Black Sabbath as well as being at the forefront of the New Wave movement in London where they were also championed by the legendary John Peel
In the early 80's, Tony formed a band as a vehicle for his singing and songwriting talents, called Radio Java. He signed to Carrerre Records and they made an album at the legendary Abbey Road studios. From that album he scored a number 1 hit in Holland at Xmas 1983 with a song called FOOL that was one of the fastest debuting airplay hits of the year.
In the Mid 80's Tony joined the band CUTTING CREW as keyboard player and was part of the success of their iconic hit single "I just died in your arms tonight". With the band he toured The world including playing massive US shows opening for Huey Lewis, Starship and the Bangles as well as doing hundreds of headline gigs. They were the first Western band to play to an audience allowed to dance and stand up in Taiwan, and almost caused a riot amongst the 60,000 inside as well as the tens of thousands who couldn't get in.
He was responsible for creating and building the Kashmir Klub in 1997. The Kashmir was a unique venue in central London that almost single-handedly lead the singer/songwriter acoustic revolution in the UK with debut performances from Damien Rice, KT Tunstall, Imogen Heap, Lucie Silvas, Tom Baxter as well as secret sets from Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood, Dave Stewart and many more.
In 2003 Tony took over running The Bedford in Balham. Under his musical stewardship the venue has grown into an award winning location. In 2004 it won Best Pub in the country, it has twice won the best pub and club award and has seen unique performances from Pete Townshend, Crowded House, Kiki Dee, Willy Mason as well as be a launch pad for the careers of acts such as James Morrison, Paolo Nutini, Amy Macdonald and Jon Allen.
At the end 2004 Tony Moore was made the sole Inductee into the MMF (Music Managers Forum) Roll Of Honour for outstanding contribution to the British Music Industry
In October of 2010 Tony will be awarded a "GOLD BADGE" by the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors for his major contribution to careers of songwriters and the creative industry.
Quotes about Tony Moore:
“Tony believed in me, gave me a stage to be seen and a platform to be heard. I loved those days - we had fun and Tony will always be a legend to me!!!!" Paolo Nutini
“Tony is a total rock of strength to anyone doubting that music is their path in life - I aspire to remain as in love and involved with it as he is.” KT Tunstall
"Tony's passion for music is clear for anyone to see. He makes anything seem possible and has been a huge force in my career so far”. Lucie Silvas

TWO TIME UNITED NATIONS COMMAND PERFORMER TAKING MAGIC ONE STEP FURTHER " I am so very proud to be chosen as an Ambassador for Global Angels.

In this charity I have met more forward thinking and inspiring people than in any other and am delighted to join this very stimulating organisation. The sheer amount of love that goes into all of their outstanding work,aid and help simply cannot be measured!" 
Chris Dugdale started learning magic at the age of just five. His grandfather thought that it would encourage him to read if he bought him a set of magic tricks and went through the instructions with him. He was instantly captivated, and this led to a life long passion for the art of magic. At the age of 18 Chris became the youngest member of the world renowned Magic Circle and successfully levitated a presenter on BBC Television's BLUE PETER live in front of 6 million people. Shortly afterwards he was promoted to the highest honour possible by award, becoming an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle. The day he graduated from Leicester University, armed with a degree in Psychology, he became a full-time magician. He hasn't looked back since and has become a world famous author of his own magic and lecturer on the psychology of magic. But performance is his real passion and in 2003 he became the first magician in history to entertain Her Majesty the Queen and The United Nations in the same year. In December 2005 he returned to New York to entertain at The United Nations for a second time. 
Chris’s original approach to the performance of close up magic has taken him around the world entertaining some of the wealthiest and most famous people on the planet. In 2006 he co-starred in the world premier of THE NAKED MAGICIANS in Hollywood and earned himself and his fellow cast members three standing ovations in one night. 2007 saw him entertain at the “Richest Gathering Of Human Beings Ever”, and the following year he was asked back by UEFA to entertain at the UEFA Cup Final. In 2009 shooting finished on his first One Hour Special for television, CHRIS DUGDALE'S MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR which will be distributed to a worldwide audience. He is the author of CLOSE UP SUCCESS, the definitive guide to close up magic along with colleague Phil Jay. He also recently completed his first book SLEIGHTLY DISHONEST – TALES AND OBSERVATIONS FROM A GLOBE TROTTING MAGICIAN. Chris's magic has taken him around the world many times, from Dubai to Las Vegas. His schedule has included more than 100 appearances in the Monte Carlo Casino in Las Vegas and more than 50 appearances at the world famous Hollywood Magic Castle. He is probably also the only magician ever to have been given a standing ovation by Simon Cowell! A few select testimonials: “You’re amazing!” Angelina Jolie “The best I’ve seen, brilliant!” Sir Richard Branson “This guy is amazing!” Simon Cowell
"I love Global Angels and am so excited to be a part of this amazing organization! I have received so many blessings in my life and want to do everything I can to give back and make a positive impact on the world. There is simply nothing better than the gift of love and service both for the person giving and the one receiving and it is something that I openly admit to being addicted to. I really do believe that, as human beings, we have the power to help others and change lives for the better, and I want to spend my life doing exactly that because, 'a life without love is no life at all.' "

I am hoping that through my music I can raise awareness of this honest and direct charity to help to change the lives of underprivileged and at risk children around the world for the better.

"I first became aware of the Global Angels Charity when I was asked to perform at a gig fundraising for them, when I was just 16. I came home with my distinct pale blue wristband stamped with GLOBAL ANGELS, and proudly wore it for weeks on end until it finally perished and I had to reluctantly throw it away!
More recently I met up with Molly after we had been tweeting on Twitter and she told me more about the charity and its 100% promise. I knew immediately I had to become involved. As part of my music degree’s final year I had to run an event, so thought this would be the perfect opportunity to put on a gig at Bush Hall to raise awareness and funds for Global Angels. It was an extremely rewarding experience to know that myself, and everyone who took part ‘Stepped up’ and changed disadvantaged people’s lives and made a difference.
It’s an honour and privilege to represent the Charity as a Global Angels Ambassador, to talk about the charity’s 100% promise and the amazing work the Charity does around the world in my interviews, and with the people I meet as I pursue my career as a recording artist and songwriter."

Jeffrey Michael Design is a creative design firm that holds within it lighting, set and costume design. All facets of the creative are related to lighting design, and work with organic, one of a kind couture pieces.
Jeffrey Michael is currently creating celebrity costume design for stage, advertising, performances, and red carpet. These pieces are all one of a kind, and created through meeting with the specific performer, and then integrating their stage persona with their looks, taste, and musical style. All pieces made are organic and find creative ways to present that performers character and style. Examples include corsets made of wheat, dresses made of baubles, and neck pieces made of maple leaves, all integrating lighting. As JMD takes the strong position that lighting is the future, almost all costume pieces are lit from within or infused with lighting. This takes the form of many different variations of costume that fit all types of performers from R&B, to jazz, to pop. Each costume is specifically tailored to the performer and often sculpted onto them in a very hands on process of creation.
JMD trained as a classic architect 5 years ago in Ottawa, Canada. Each design project he worked with focused towards lighting and eventually moved him fluently into lamp design. After several trips to Paris and London, he settled in London, and began on his first creative commercial collections. Focusing on soft organic shapes and futurism, he has began work though his selftitled style "organic futurism", which uses light to sculpt the body in each one of a kind creation.
At the moment, Jeffrey has worked with such pop stars as U2, Kimberly Wyatt, Diana Vickers, Jason Derulo, Daniel Bedingfield, Marina & the Diamonds, Groove Armada, and the dj likes of DJ Tombstone from NYC, and Disco Damage from London. He has had the pleasure of working in the medium of tv for Louis Spence's Showbusiness, Got to Dance, and for the brand Rimmel London for their signature 'Get the London Look' commercials with the one and only Georgia May Jagger.
JMD is currently moving into larger adventures including concert performances for costume and set design for world talent artists, large scale art gallery displays of artwork pieces, and larger work on commercial and movie sets.
He is currently based in London, where he travels back and forth with his clients between NYC, Los Angeles and London.
"From the minute I met Molly and her team I was instantly inspired by how beautifully selfless their work is. There are so many children all over the world suffering and the Global Angels are truly trying to rectify that. I am extremely proud to have become an ambassador. If everyone would Step Up, the world wouldn't just be a better place, it would be perfect."
