Celebs Take To The Stage For Wessex Cancer Trust

Wessex Boy Frank Turner and Feeder's Grant Nicholas, are among those lining up to support Wessex Cancer Trust as the charity hosts its first virtual concert, Wessex Aid, tonight (Saturday).

A long list of stars and community groups have recorded a song for the fundraising event which will premiere live on the Wessex Cancer Trust's Facebook Page from 8pm.

Also on the line up are Bang Bang Romeo, South African rocker Arno Carstens, the Island’s Lauran Hibberd and the infectious Love Soul Choir.

Community Engagement Manager Lorraine White said:

“The Covid-19 pandemic has massively affected our fundraising efforts, with all our major events being cancelled, so we’ve had to be a
bit creative with our ideas - and Wessex Aid is the result.

“It’s been incredibly fun to put together and the artists have really got behind the cause to help us create what we hope will be a truly memorable night of music."

Meanwhile, you can LISTEN to an exclusive interview with Mark King ahead of the event tonight here.
