Mods ride into Rugby for fundraising gigs to help children and young people with cancer

They are gearing up for a weekend of fundraising gigs as they help to raise £1m for Teenage Cancer Trust.

The gigs feature a nationwide group called ‘March of the Mods’ which will perform a month-long series of 32 fundraising gigs during March.

The gigs in Rugby take place tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday at 6.30pm, at the Rugby Workers Club in Oliver Street.

There will be live bands such as Fossil Fuel, Solid Bon and Johnny Seven.

March of The Mods is the brainchild of Eddie Penny, a bus driver, and Teenage Cancer Trust supporter, from Liverpool. Twelve years ago, he had the idea of staging a series of mod music gigs across the country in March.

The gigs so far have raised over £853,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Ticket holders will enjoy mod music and raise vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and brain tumour charities.

Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist hospital units, nurses, and youth workers across the UK.
