Popular touring rock show returning to Alnwick as part of quest to raise £2.5 million for Help for Heroes

The One Entertainment performance will take place on May 20, and the curtain will rise at 7.30pm.

The performance will raise much-needed funds for Help for Heroes, the leading armed forces and veterans' charity which aims to help veterans and their families live well after service.

Already the show has raised tens of thousands for the charity, but they are aiming for a huge £2.5 million.

Philip Hawkins, producer, frontman and managing director at One Entertainment, said: “Having military connections in my family, I have always wanted to raise money for military personnel.

"Help for Heroes works in the community with serving and ex serving men and women to help rehabilitate them through injury and mental well-being.

"It’s a privilege that we have a close tie to Help for Heroes and that we get to fundraise for them.”

Rock for Heroes is a seven-piece band which aims to breathes new life into the music of rock legends Guns ‘N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, Prince, Meat Loaf, Fleetwood Mac and Queen.

And if the audience likes what they hear, they will be encouraged to throw some cash into a collection bucket.

Phillip added: “If you love rock music and want to escape for a few hours and laugh out loud, and sing loud and proud to the biggest rock anthems of a generation, then come down and join.”
