Nottingham's Vicky McClure has announced a hometown gig as her first act as a Teenage Cancer Trust Icon. Vicky will launch 'This is Nottingham' on Saturday, December 3, at the Metronome Nottingham, to help raise awareness and funds for the charity's vital support services for 13 to 24 year olds with cancer as part of her new role in the charity.
The performance will be a homage to her BAFTA winning performance in 'This is England', and will feature local talent, including the drum and bass artist BRU-C, and more names set to be added imminently. Due to the expected demand for the event, people will need to enter a raffle to try and secure a ticket.
The raffle will open from Friday, October 14 and entries will cost £10 for the chance to win a pair of tickets. Vicky said: “Nottingham is a hotbed of talent, from Oscar nominees to Olympic champions to chart toppers, so it feels right that a place with two Teenage Cancer Trust units should be hosting this incredible event. I’m so proud to call this city my home.
