Rod Stewart's extra special reward for floods heroes
Rod Stewart's extra special reward for floods heroes
Share
Rod Stewart is helping our efforts to honour Cumbria’s flood heroes.
The music superstar has already made a £10,000 donation to the county’s flood recovery appeal.
And, when he plays his eagerly-anticipated Carlisle concert next month, there will be a special reward for some of those who did so much to help their community when Storm Desmond struck.
Rod’s concert promoters, Cuffe and Taylor, have teamed up with The Cumberland News to give people from a clutch of key organisations tickets to the Brunton Park gig as part of our #SpiritofCumbria Awards.
The singer has also recorded a special video message for our readers and said: “I can’t wait to get to Carlisle. It’s going to be great.”
Cuffe and Taylor director Peter Taylor urged people to nominate their flood heroes and said: “It is clear from the interviews he has done and the very generous donation Rod made to the people of Carlisle that he feels immense sympathy for them and wants to help.
“Therefore we feel it is absolutely right to reward the heroes of the floods with tickets to see Rod on stage.”
Details of who will receive the tickets will be revealed in the coming weeks.
