Teenage Cancer Trust - UNSEEN

View

Due to the current climate, Teenage Cancer Trust have been unable to host their annual festival at Royal Albert Hall, which is critical for their funding and survival. Over the last few months many of us at The Assembly Rooms have donated our time and skills to creating the content for a very special 10 day online festival to raise money for TCT.

The festival features previously UNSEEN live concerts from Muse to The Who to Pulp to The Cure and many, many more. All will be available via the TCT's official Youtube channel from 8/10/20, starting with Ed Sheeran. All money raised from the streams go directly to TCT and their continuous support for young people living with cancer. A huge thank you to Edward Cooper, Nick Allix, Ruth Hegarty, Kevin Corry, Joe Parsons, Dan Breheny and Nik Hindson for all your efforts and hard work for this very special cause. Until then, check out Nick Allix’s rocking promo above!
