There were many reports of flood affected areas across Lancashire and Cumbria so Andy, with the support of his wife Bernie, decided to organise a concert to raise some much needed funds. Andy scoured the area for local talent and was amazed by the willingness of people to get involved. Performers included the Lytham Youth Choir and Father Frank Osman of Preston. They performed in front of a sell out audience at Our Lady Star of the Sea Social Centre. Many people and local businesses came forward with raffle prizes as the whole venture gained momentum. A total of £1,200 was raised on the evening and this has already been sent to help the restoration of St Michael’s on Wyre CofE Primary School that had been badly affected by the floods. Andy said: “It was very much a family event, with something for everyone and we are all delighted to have been able to help others. When I was handed a piece of paper on stage saying £1,200 I was flabbergasted and when I read it out there was a huge round of applause at what we had collectively achieved. I’d thought maybe £700-£800 would have been a decent result so to achieve that total was wonderful. I thought it would be a good idea it give the money to something specific rather than have it diluted around the county and the school is ideal”. Cathy Brough head teacher of St Michael’s was delighted with the donation and said "Thank you so much for all that you have done. We are really grateful for all of the help which we are receiving, which is enabling the school to function and offer the children all that they need.” Floods of Support!

For this is an area of the UK where mass seaside tourism was invented and where the UK’s most popular visitor attraction, the Pleasure Beach, can be found, not to mention a rich and proud industrial history, world famous foods including Lancashire Hot Pot and Morecambe Bay shrimps, a sporting pedigree that includes the birthplace of professional football, a place where legends of witchcraft and strong royal connections survive today, and an area where a surprising 80 per cent of the landscape is rural including stunning parts like the relatively undiscovered Forest of Bowland. In fact if you take away `visitors` and Lancashire and Blackpool’s astounding variety of places to visit, then suddenly the area becomes anything but awash with `Living Legends, Family Fun, Nightime Buzz, Coastal Contrasts or Country Escapes` – the very themes that encapsulate the visitor products promoted here.
