Anthony

My 10 year old son Anthony died in April from leukaemia The Undertones are doing a concert in his memory proceeds to the N. I. Children's Cancer Unit fund.

It will take place on Fri 19/10/01 at the Nerve Centre in Derry. Tickets are £10 and are available only from Soundsaround music shop in Waterloo Street. This is the only gig they will play in Derry this year.

Cliff the review was excellent. I will never forget the intro of Jimmy Jimmy which launched the huge crowd into a heaving mass of enjoyment and it made all the hard work and planning so worthwhile. I hope Anthony was looking down on us all. I'm sure he was.

Including the preview of teenage kicks. the concert, sales of T-shirts, auctions, etc we have raised just under £7500 for the cancer fund from Undertones fans. It is testimony to the kindness of the both the band and their great followers. Tonight we raised just over £2000 from a sponsored swim. Overall we are on target for £45000 in the six months since Anthony's death which is a remarkable tribute to a very special little boy.
