Fans of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly are in for a treat – all in aid of the new MRI scanner appeal for Darlington Memorial and Bishop Auckland Hospitals.
Local tribute acts will be performing songs from these two legends of rock and roll, at Elm Road Social Club in Shildon, on Saturday 21st October, starting at 7pm.
Tickets are only £6 and can be obtained by ringing the Charity Appeal team on 01325 743781or email: cddft.charity@nhs.net.
Appeal manager, Pat Chambers, said: “This promises to be a fantastic night and we’re so grateful to people across County Durham and Darlington who are organising events such as this, which not only promises a fun night of singing and dancing to great songs but will also raise money for our appeal.
“We’re hoping to see a few pairs of blue suede shoes!”
Dr Elizabeth Loney, Chair of the MRI Scanner Appeal, at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust said: “We’re doing increasing numbers of MRI scans which are particularly good at looking at soft tissue including the liver and brain.
“Modern scanners give excellent quality images and are really helpful in diagnosing and treating cancers, cardiac and other serious health conditions.”
