Cancer Fundraising

All our work is underpinned by a unique charitable ethos. The idea came about following the cancer related deaths of family members, and coming to terms with this, we wanted to use our musical abilities to fund-raise for an appropriate charity. Since 2005, that charity has been Macmillan. 

We have raised in excess of £180,000 for various UK based cancer charities, the majority of it (£140,000) for Macmillan Cancer Support.
