Charity night will raise funds for QEQM

Fans of soul, funk and disco are in for a treat at a charity night in Margate.

The event, on Saturday, 4 May, is in aid of East Kent Hospitals Charity, raising money for the Viking Day Unit at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in the town, which provides cancer treatment.

Organiser Giorgio Green is hoping to raise £2,000, in memory and support of friends who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Giorgio, who lives in Margate, said: “It should be a great event and we have some fantastic raffle prizes on offer.

“The club have been absolutely brilliant in their support and are already collecting donations.

“Johnny Andrews, who owned the club, passed away from cancer so they were very keen to help, and I couldn’t have done it without young Johnny Andrews and Hayley and the rest of the team.”

The event will feature soul, funk, and disco tunes from the 1960s to the 1990s, and admission is free. It starts at 7pm and runs until late at the Odds Club in Hawley Street, Margate.

Raffle prizes include paintings from local artists, vouchers, and items donated by local shops.
