Help Fund the Moose Grand Stravaig

Spende geschützt
Thanks so much folks, we have now replaced the trusty (rusty) old Moose Mobile my home for some nine years, we enter year ten in a vehicle far more fit for purposes and now rejoin the Grand Stravaig - Medicine Music and iMtv remains dedicated to supporting independently minded music, community venues and festivals and house concerts, it is entirely publicaly funded and driven by our love of music and it's importance to community..

Stay tuned at www.youtube.com/robellen over 1,500 videos now collected, please hit the live tab subscribe and get notified.








This old girl The Medicine Show Radio Moose Mobile has been my home and refuge from the storm for 9 years now, we have travelled 16 countries together here in Europe, its had a new engine but now needs way more. Please consider helping.

  • I launch this funding appeal today on World Day for Cultural Diversity: The United Nations observes this day to highlight the importance of cultural diversity for achieving peace and sustainable development. It emphasizes the role of intercultural dialogue in building a more inclusive and harmonious world
  • No higher virtue for this pilgrim - I thought it appropriate for the Moose.

On this auspicious day I ask if you have some disposable cash in the coffers and believe what I'm doing is indeed making a difference please help.

If this works, and it NEEDS to believe me - its is gonna take 'everyone that's at all interested in what I'm trying to do to help, if you read this far that's you!!

So please do consider helping; loving, sharing and caring will help and thanks I know you do (I'll doubtless ask you again to do that) but cutting to the chase, as our Moose Mama Ruth Purves Smith says "Nothing says I love you like cold hard cash" and we need to get yon Canadian Moose going again too, so this is crunch time. I'm screwing Ruths head on for this, Ruth knows about fund raising that one, her fans friends and family paid for her album by collecting refundable plastic bottles during yon plague (true story) got to love those Canucks, now its winning awards willy-nilly (go ruth)

I'm asking all the artist that I've ever broadcast a session with in Canada, USA, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Spain & Portugal and everyone that has listen to one of theses 1,500 now archived sessions to help - thats all up is a potential of 1/2 a million people now.

We start in The Netherlands with Keegan Mcinroe Hi Noon May 28th he was the first to say yes (no hesitation) that fare gladdened my heart, thank-you Keegan and you all again are raising my spirits Together I ask you to help me raise the Moose Movement to a position of real global influence.

Right then I'm kicking this new phase all off on iMtv at Noon tomorrow with the session we recorded with Keegan in Vlaardingen Netherlands in 2017

Any of our family fold of Moose Session artists that pledges to help spread the word I'll repeat their session also and book in a catch up split screen restream session as well ASAP - the idea is I get the 30,000 + followers of the iMtv pages to engage with the campaign too.

I'm working on the premise that most of these folk (you folk) I have met in person and when I do most offer to buy me a beer, so I'm asking in my hour of need "buy me that beer at your local rate here and now and when we do rescue the Moose and I'm sure we will and I do come visit again, I'll buy you it back - if every one I've met on this 9 year adventure does that and every artist I've broadcast shares a link and does a session then we will reach everyone everywhere no bother there are only 8" of separation and I figure if we unite that separation and that's the main goal in all of this and Music is the best 'Medicine' to achieve it we'll reach the target in on the way really start to make a world difference.

Anything over I'll spend on iMtv Tech. Its time to get serious.

On July 4th (independence day) 2016 I launched this great adventure. I really want this thing to be kicking ass and want to report I reached all my goals from 16 in 2026 - its all so very close but we need to have the vehicles and equipment to achieve it - this really is all I want to do till I physically cant all I want is to get more better every day. So buy me a beer and I'll say cheers and we'll make much needed magic happen together in the world :-)


This promotional support is delivered free of charge for the love of the music, please do consider supporting this appeal, I want to keep doing this for free as it should be, if so I pledge to continue to do my best to support independently minded musicians, venues and events I.E. 'The Music We Love' its the way 'The Moose' rolls, please help me keep the wheels on.

Ever since "the Great Fire of Llanfyllin" which blew the toilet door off (you may remember) , I've been living without a wash hand basin and running water. Yes I had a fire, every van lifers dread, however, my well placed ever ready fire extinguisher saved the Moose's (and my) goose, but resulted in the Fire Brigade having to cut into this side of this wall to stop the smouldering insolation, this seriously affected the infrastructure, and she suffered smoke damage (I've just about got rid of the smell, it would be nice to get rid of the smoke damage at the very least) .

I love this old van, its still starts and gets me where I'm going every time that i wanna get going, but reluctantly I realised she/we need help!

I just don't have the funds to do her up and the MOT is looming. I guestimate a sum of £3,000 would get her back to being presentable (and yes more liveable) and also afford me a fund to up grade the iMtv tech towards the recent iMtv Roondhoose TV quality, which has to be the bench mark and my ultimate goal going forward. The initial funding goal is £3k would be amazing to that end i'm gonna ask everyone ive helped to help. If we achieve the overall goal £10,000 I can replace the Moose and give her a well earned retirement and/or maybe another less arduous more local roll.

I need your help, I always do (I know), and you as a Moose followers and Medicine Music benefactors have never let me down, something I'm forever grateful for as I enter my 10th year on the road, I could not have got this far without you (so true story).

Its tantalising to think that just the cost of a beer from all of those, would raise enough funds for us to achieve everything I could even imaging for The Medicine Show anywhere in the world may be even set up an independent musicians trust fund perhaps that would be a fine legacy for this pilgrim (that's another story) .

I know It falls all to often to the likes of me and you to just go do it with the limited resources we have at our disposal and help who we can keep it all going the best we can now music is so undervalued . As the national broadcasters homogonies and the playlists merge independent broadcasting is getting all the more essential, and better followed. I cant call on advertising budgets although were actively looking for music and travel friendly sponsors with a 30k listener base this has got to now be a sellable resource to someone hip enough to see the potential. Let me know if you know anyone this fits this profile. IYKYK Im a publicist I can really help.

My funding options right now are my pension and our Patreon Channel members and the odd donation which does keep me alive, but those alone now can't possibly reach the now necessary amount to keep the Medicine Show on The Road.

Please do follow the Moose and iMtv at if not already and thanks for your time in reading, consideration and generous support thus far. www.youtube.com/robellen subscribe and get notified.
