danSing for Shine!


G4 singer Jonathan Ansell, BBC pundit Danny Mills, and other celebrities will soon be taking part in an evening of entertainment to benefit people with disability.

danSing for Shine will take place at Harrogate Theatre on 21st June at 7pm to raise funds for Shine, a national charity dedicated to supporting people affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

Danny Mills will compère the evening. The ex Premiership and England footballer became Shine’s Patron after losing his son Archie to spina bifida and hydrocephalus in 2002. Danny will be joined by special guests, Jonathan Ansell, G4s multi platinum selling music artist, and John Farnworth, world championship football freestyler. North Yorkshire performing arts group ‘danSing', the hosts and creative inspiration behind the event, will also be taking part.

Other guests will include singer songwriters Katie Skinner (of ‘Made in Leeds’ fame), Yo Preston, Sophie Stott and Daniel Webster, African drummers Belebele, and the Brackenfield School Choir.

Danny Mills, who will have completed the IRONMAN endurance challenge in Staffordshire a week before the event, said: ‘We hope to raise thousands of pounds for Shine through a great evening of entertainment. It’s hard to explain how essential the work of Shine is. What we went through in losing Archie was terrible, and the advice and support from Shine enabled us to cope at a time when all seemed lost. Shine were there when we needed them and it’s so important that the support they provide can continue.’
