    Nathan said: “Roy was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2020 and after a long hard battle, he passed away in November as it had spread aggressively.

    “Before he passed, he asked me that if I should ever set up another charity gig, would I do it for Weston Park - so realistically, it’s all his idea!”

    Admission to the gig is free, but collections will be made for Weston Park and there will be a raffle.
