BANDS competing in this year’s Let’s Rock Cancer fundraiser have been announced.
Brother and sister duo Brant and Danielle Clayton, of Chapel Street, Goxhill, are busy making final preparations for the second annual Battle of the Bands Competition in aid of Let’s Rock Cancer – a charity they set up last year in memory of their mother. The siblings’ mum Sally Clayton, who suffered from a condition called Ewing sarcoma which affected her legs, was only 46 when she passed away in October last year. Danielle, 17, and Brant, 20, established the charity before their mum died in a bid to raise cash for charity through promoting local talent. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better with almost 20 bands lined up to perform. The semi-final will be spilt into two heats, on October 3 and October 24 at Broughton Village Hall from 7pm to 10.30pm. The final will be held on November 7 at The Lincoln Imp in Scunthorpe from 7pm to 10.30pm.
Danielle said: “We have bands travelling from all over to compete in the competition including Retford, Grimsby, Gansborough, Cleethorpes, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Hull, Louth, Hampshire and Manchester!
