Late TIGERTAILZ Bassist Memory Lives In Wales' Pancreatic Cancer Charity
July 16, 2009, 15 years ago
UK glam rockers TIGERTAILZ have posted the following press release at their official website:
Wales' pancreatic cancer charity, Amser Justin Time, yesterday (Wednesday, July 15th) made a ground-breaking announcement at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, having raised sufficient money in their first year of operation to fund a Specialist Pancreatic Nurse for one day a week. The charity, which is headed by Welsh opera, TV and radio star Shân Cothi (pictured), in memory of her husband, Tigertailz' glam-rock star, Justin Smith (aka Pepsi Tate), marked the announcement with a special performance from Only Men Aloud.
The launch had a fantastic response as crowds of patients, medical staff and hospital visitors filled the Main Concourse of the University Hospital of Wales at lunchtime today to hear Shân Cothi make the announcement, followed by a heartrending rendition of ‘Angels' from the nation's favourite contemporary male choir Only Men Aloud. For those patients unable to attend, the launch was also broadcast live on Hospital Radio. The performance marked the ground-breaking announcement that in the 12 months since the charity was launched, Amser Justin Time has raised over £60,000 and will now use part of these funds to fund a Specialist Pancreatic Nurse for one day a week for two years.
