Gig’s cash bid for Alzheimer’s
An entertainer from Scarborough hopes an evening of music and laughter will raise vital funds to support the Alzheimer’s Society.
Glynn Mills, a singer and performer, is joining forces with three other artists for ‘A Night to Remember’ in aid of Alzheimer’s Society at Scarborough Cricket Club on Friday, November 25.
