Concert In Memory of Chris Milligan
8th March 2006
In December of 2005 Chris Milligan, a good friend of a group of students at St
Ninian's High School, passed away due to a rare form of cancer.
Chris
was a much loved member of school life and his friends and school mates are
setting up a concert in memory of Chris Milligan and for so many other children that have had their young lives curtailed so cruelly by cancer. The show aims to raise funds for
Alder Hay Hospital
and
Macmillan Cancer Relief
who do so much for people with cancer and yet struggle for resources.
This resourceful bunch of friends are planning a big concert of local bands to
raise much needed funds and have booked the
Villa Marina
for the
20th of July 2006.
Obviously they are aiming for the event to be a huge success and to sell the
place
out. But they need your help. They have already gained the support of
Stone Creation
who are good friends but they are looking to recruit local Blues and
Rock Bands from all over the Isle of Man and would greatly appreciate any
offers of support that all of us could give.
So if your band is available or you just want to contribute in
some way to these hugely worthy causes and to the memory of Chris Milligan
please contact the organisers by email: Just click
here.
