Gig in aid of Pete's fund

The licensee of a popular music venue in Watford will host a gig to help a man faced with losing his home.

Denis Cook, of The Horns pub, is holding a gig in aid of Pete's Fund, which was set up to raise funds for an operation performed on Pete Nash from Kings Langley.

In 2004 Pete was diagnosed with an AVM (mass of abnormal blood vessels) in his brain.

The NHS refused to give Pete the life-saving operation to remove it.

The gig will help raise money to save Pete's house, after his life insurance refused to cover his mortgage and will go towards Pete's Fund, which helps other AVM sufferers.

On Tuesday, May 20 at 8pm, Underview and Stormrunner will be performing live at The Horns in Hempstead Road.

Tickets cost £3 and are available from The Horns.

For more information telephone 07974 345 087 or visit www.petesfund.co.uk.

For medical experts to make decisions on operations..and to weigh up risks against benefits and to leave emotions out of the equation.
