New Order roll up for cancer gig
Roland Hancock
NEW Order will play at Manchester's biggest-ever charity concert to raise money to help in the battle against cancer.
The "Manchester versus Cancer" gig, which will feature some of the region's best-known artists, is backed by the M.E.N. and will be held on January 28.
Also in the line-up is Badly Drawn Boy, The Stone Roses' Mani, Doves and Stephen Fretwell. More acts will be announced in the M.E.N. over the next two weeks along with details of how to get tickets.
Ex-Smiths bassist Andy Rourke organised the night after hearing that his manager's sister had contracted cancer.
All proceeds, estimated to exceed £1m, will go to Christie Hospital, Europe's largest treatment and research centre into the disease. The concert will be held at the M.E.N. Arena.
Andy said: "It's just fantastic news. The band had a meeting this week and decided to go for it. We are still signing up more artists by the day and the night promises to be one of the best gigs ever.
Looking good
"Now the line-up is looking so good, we need to make sure we reach our target of £1m so if there are any businesses out there interested in sponsoring Manchester Versus I would love to speak to them."
Peter Hook, who plays bass guitar for New Order, said: "We are delighted to support this important cause.
"Cancer is like a lottery, but a lottery you wouldn't want to win.
"We are behind this fundraising event 100 per cent and are looking forward to helping raise money for Christie Hospital."
Toni Leden, appeals director at the Christie, said: "Just like Christie itself, the band is a real Manchester institution.
"We're thrilled they're generous enough to donate their time to help our cause like this.
"I'm sure it will be a performance to remember."
Manchester Versus Cancer takes place at the M.E.N. Arena on Saturday, January 28.
