Sunday 29th June 08 - Teenage Cancer Trust Show Starring Blah Blah Blah, The Strums And The Strands At Adelphi Club Hull

We all know someone who has suffered from cancer, but just imagine if that someone was still of a school or college age? Each day six UK teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. What kind of life are they going to have just as they are beginning an often long and complicated journey into adulthood? The Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) is devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer.

You can help by supporting this worthwhile event of local musicians pulling together to highlight a cause that could strike somebody close to you down tomorrow. Join forces with Blah Blah Blah (who has toured with Jack Penate, Kate Nash and Lethal Bizzle). Alongside The Strums who hail from the east side of the city playing high octane guitar based indie sounds and The Strands much talked off, highly applauded who are said to have an individual style that is proving entertaining and inspirational on the Hull rock scene.

Tickets cost £5.00 (all proceeds to go to Teenage Cancer Trust) www.teenagecancertrust.org
