Have you ever been heading in one direction, and life threw you a hell

of a curve? That's now, for me.

I can, and am, making it work. But the transition is difficult, because

the move came much quicker than I was expecting.

When VISA situation wasn't going as well, upon advice, I decided

I need to work in London, and then re-apply for a different and better VISA.

So, any assistance now helps me hopefully speed up the process of making

that happen.

If you want to help, please here are 4 specific things you can do....

1) You can simply donate some funds.

Any amount really helps get settled in a whole new country.

2) You could refer me to any ACTORS or contacts in London

that you may know. Again, I've gone from a huge support system

in LA, to not really knowing anyone.

3) I am an incredibly skilled demo reel editor. Reels normally cost

hundreds of dollars. Again, to help myself get settled in new country,

I offered this great deal for June, and have now extended to July.

Only $100.

4) Share this Event page on Social media.

Somehow, that all helps.

 

THANK YOU for taking the time to read my campaign info and helping. I sincerely appreciate your support. Please see full campaign explanation below:

* WHY LONDON? I've moved to London temporarily, where there is much acting work. London is essentially the casting hub of Europe and I can work freely as an actor and a musician here. Also most importantly my two sons Matthew (21) and Daniel (13) are now only a short plane ride away :)

* WHAT'S THE PLAN? To work here gaining International Film & TV credits (and press) in order to return to my Artistic Home & Family Stateside ASAP. This is an unexpected and difficult situation for sure, but there has been no time to complain about it!

* SO FAR I have accomplished a lot quickly, with your help, THANK YOU. Before I left I had to get all my affairs in order. Try to sell my music equipment (around still playing gigs!) and organize all my belongings into storage. I had to pay for a plane ticket obviously, buy a new suitcase, a new hard guitar case and the list goes on.

* WHAT'S NEXT? I am in the TRANSITION STAGE of the move now. I just confirmed a permanent place to stay, I have a new UK phone number and I am actively seeking work which is great BUT it's going to take time to get going making money and your continued support with the 4 ways above is VERY MUCH appreciated. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

* AS YOU KNOW I am someone who loves to give and has much unconditional love & enthusiasm for all those around me. When I shared news of having to leave personally with some of you, ALL OF YOU (my friends & artistic family) have immediately asked WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP? This is why I started this campaign, to be specific (and to get myself out of the way) so you can actually help me like you have asked to. Above are those 4 immediate ways you can do that :)

Hugh :)

Latest Update

THANK YOU. I have been in London now just over a month. I've found a place to live, signed with an agent, I'm auditioning and booking/playing music gigs. This relatively smooth transition, all things considered, has in large part been due to your support of my campaign. I created a facebook photo album showing how your kind donations were used. Please click on this link below to see it: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10156623221976385.1073741860.771511384&type=1&l=4f9d88ecd9 ALSO I have created a TV show on Instagram TV (IGTV) which shows in more detail my progress here. To watch'Hugh in London' episodes. Follw this link to my Instagram page on your phone and click on the IGTV icon: https://www.instagram.com/hughlehane/ The campaign will remain open for 30 days, allowing an opportunity for anyone who still wishes to contribute.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!!! For all your support. I have accomplished a lot since I arrived last Sunday (listed below) YOUR SUPPORT has been critical in helping this unexpected transition to another country. HELP STILL NEEDED: Getting to make money ASAP is obviously critical for me SO PLEASE keep sharing my campaign (check it out I've updated all the info on there) and sharing any acting/music contacts you may have in London. WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR: I have a great place to stay, a new phone (UK number), an Oyster Card (so I can freely travel on buses, trains & tube for the month). Been walking in, calling & e-mailing venues here (averaging walking 8 km a day). I also, on Spotlight (Main UK casting site) have been submitting online for auditions. I have an agent audition tomorrow!! ALSO I updated this campaign, my website, my spotlight page, worked on editing reels stuff and I've opened a bank account!! I will update you more as I go!! Love, Hugh :)

LAST NIGHT at my Auld Dubliner Farewell show something awesome happened. In the picture you'll se me with, Alexander & Angelica, a couple who approached me last night and said they had fell in love one night at the Auld Dubliner while listening to me play music AND since I was the catalyst for their love, when the manager told them that I have to leave and about my campaign, they decided to make a huge donation!! THANK YOU ALL for your SHARING and DONATING. Please keep it up. I sincerely appreciate your support :)

THANK YOU EVERYONE for all your kind words, your phone calls, messages, for sharing your contacts and for your donations. So much love, support and appreciation it's truly an amazing thing. I am blessed :) HELP!!! Most of us find it difficult to ask for help, but there are moments, where it needs to be done. And as my acting coach Mark McPherson says why deny others the joy you feel when you help others. Can't argue with that. LUCKY FOOLS LOVE!! My friend Michael Shields, owner of the brilliant 'Lucky Fools Pub' in Moorpark: www.facebook.com/LuckyFoolsPub booked me for 2 gigs yesterday (Tues 19th & the 26th) and is also interested in buying my PA system. First let me say, thank you Michael I appreciate your kindness & support. The idea that my PA could be in a venue such as yours continuing to help bring the joy of music to the people of CA would help me feel better about selling it. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for such a fantastic show of love & support. I WILL BE BACK :)

THE MAGIC OF LOVE & HELP It had already started before I posted this HELP event today. My amazing friend Amy in Phoenix insisted on buying my guitar 'America' for safekeeping until my return. It really hurt to put America on sale yesterday but I have no choice, hardly any time! THANK YOU AMY I cannot tell you how sincerely appreciated your kindness is. ALL HELP & SUPPORT is very sincerely appreciated.
