Musicians Unite against Killer Disease By 7pm the Falcon Club was already heaving with young
people
 promising
young bands, were magnificent in what may be their final concert together as
they go their separate ways to universities of their choice. Steph defied a
sore throat to sing her heart out. We have asked her to send a copy of her
own Cumbrian lyrics which clearly deserve attentive listening. She sang with
Francis Dunnery at The Ship Launch in July and he describes her as "a
real Cumbrian hometown girl and a great songwriter with a fantastic voice.
I'm sure she'll do well wherever she goes." Willy
Bazooka and the Naughty Diplomats is a very promising, fresh, cheeky boy
band from West Lakes Academy. We are really sorry that we had to leave for
another appointment before we could hear some of the bands, but we know that
the atmosphere just got better and better that a fantastic £1654.64 was
raised by the event, augmented by a further donation of £750 from Barclays
Bank. In total, £26,000 has been raised to fight Meningitis in the name of
Lisa.

(and
some not so young) eager to enjoy the live music provided by the richly
talented local groups that had all signed to support, for free, a very
special event. All the proceeds would go to provide more funds for the
Meningitis Research Trust, which is already developing powerful vaccines
that will offer protection from this killer disease that has snatched away
so many beautiful and talented young people, including Lisa Bell, who died
at the age of 15. It is the love she has left in the hearts of her
innumerable friends that continues to inspire these wonderful events,
asserting the claims for life in defiance of death and disease through the
voice of their music.
