The Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) is sponsoring a huge fundrasing event for long term relief in Haiti and, today, Tom Felton announced his support of the effort by tweeting that he will be donating one of his guitars to help them out!

Tom’s signed guitar is currently on its way to HPA and will be offered as a possible “Thank you gift” to supporters who donate $75.

Feltbeats has also learned that Tom’s Harry Potter co-star Evanna Lynch will be contributing to the effort, though we don’t have the details of her involvement yet.

Along with Tom’s guitar, HPA has recieved over 200 incredible items which will be given as thank you gifts, one of the most notable being a full set of Harry Potter books signed by author JK Rowling. Please visit http://www.thhpalliance.org/haiti for more information and a listing of all items that have been donated.

Other Feltbeats members are actively involved in the effort. Feltbeats Admin, Javastix, is also donating items through The Leaky Cauldron and the crafty witches there.

The Harry Potter Alliance is dedicated to using the examples of Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore to spread love and fight the Dark Arts in the real world. They have joined forces with Partners in Health to gain support for long term relief in Haiti.

An incredible four hour LiveCast on Saturday, January 23 was broadcast to promote the event and, at the time of this writing, they’ve raised almost $35,000 US.

Another Livecast is scheduled for Wednesday. It’s possible that Tom may be involved further in this worthwhile effort, and we’ll keep you updated as we hear more.

The donation drive continues through January 30, 2010, and donations can be made through the HPA website http://thehpalliance.org/haiti. Check it out! 🙂

UPDATE: The guitar has been posted on the donation site as of this morning (Monday)

Tom Felton Inspires International Music Effort

Feltbeats.com was founded because of Tom Felton’s music. As a result, we have many members inspired to play guitar or pursue other musical interests because of Tom, and we’re darned proud of that.

Last summer, several Feltbeats.com forum members decided to get together and start a musical collaboration, aptly named the “Feltbeats Addicts Band,” also known as FAB.

It started casually enough, but quickly grew. Their first effort, affectionately called “TTS”, short for the Twittering Tom Song, was released in September in honor of Tom Felton’s twenty-second birthday. But that was just the beginning. The group now has several songs completed, with more projects underway.

There are six band leaders: stormlite02 (moderator, auditions), snatalia (editor), irooloo (videographer, composer), amaren88 (artwork), shanajaca (lyrics), and krobertson24 (composer), who merge the tracks to put together the finished product.

Great job, ladies! I’m sure Tom will love to know that he inspired you. We look forward to the day when you might be able to create music together in real-time. For now, it’s wonderful how technology, and the inspiration of Tom Felton, can bring together a group from multiple countries and languages in a spirit of fun and goodwill.

Currently, the band has members in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Scotland, England, US, China and others.

The FAB website, with links to their songs, can be found at:
