Support Joe Longthorne’s charity show
10:16am Thursday 10th April 2008
Tickets are still available for the Joe Longthorne charity concert at Batley Frontier on May 22.
Supported by singer Siobhan Phillips, Joe Longthorne, right, is raising money for the Caron Keating Foundation, the charity set up to raise funds for professional cancer carers.
This followed the death of the former Blue Peter presenter and daughter of Gloria Hunniford.
Joe Longthorne had leukaemia for many years. In 2006 he had a bone marrow transplant and returned to the stage of his adopted town of Blackpool.
The money raised for the Caron Keating Foundation also pays for complementary healing and support groups. Financial help is also given to charities researching into the prevention and early detection of cancer.
- Tickets for the May 22 show cost £20 and are available by ringing (01924) 442122 or by going to batleyfrontier.co.uk
