The 20-year archive of Teenage Cancer Trust concerts will be thrown open to the public next month with the aim of raising much needed lockdown funds for the charity.
Starting on October 8th with Ed Sheeran’s 2017 performance, sets from the likes of The Who, Sir Paul McCartney, Paul Weller, Pulp and Noel Gallagher will be streamed for free on YouTube, with those tuning in encouraged to donate to TCT as they do so. “So here we are, six months into one of the strangest times in living memory,” Roger Daltrey says.
“Where everyone has had some sense of what isolation, even for short periods, can do to the state of our mental health. Without the environment and services that Teenage Cancer Trust provide within our NHS, specifically for this age group, isolation throughout their lengthy treatments becomes a strong possibility.”
“Through Teenage Cancer Trust, the UK has led the world in recognising the specific issues that this age group with cancer suffer, please donate generously to make sure this vital work continues through these difficult times.”
