Concert raises money for soldiers

A concert in aid of Help for Heroes raised £3,000. The music night at The Playhouse, Sleaford was organised by local man Steve Wiles. Mr Wiles, an ex-Royal Air Force fire fighter was overwhelmed with the support of local people. He would like to thank all who attended the evening and the bands for their fantastic efforts. Bands featured included Twist and Shout fronted by energetic Tommy Manville, Sportsday and The Stringedfellows. Mr Wiles said: "Apart from the drummer, these guys have all worked in the Armed Forces of MOD and all members have a great affection for the Help For Heroes charity. After the interval, young local band The Blonde Mistake were next to wow the crowd, playing their own original punchie tunes with a couple of Blink 182 cover thrown in for good measure." The final performers of the evening were Monkiejamm who are a five-piece band who only play the best of British music. Anyone interested in sponsoring next year's show should call Steve on 01526 830481.
