AN ACOUSTIC fundraiser will be held in memory of a popular Winsford carer.

On Saturday, August 26, The Electric Church will be hosting the all-day music event involving 12 bands to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The event will be held in memory of Chloe Richardson who started the Disabled Disco at the St Luke’s Barton Stadium but died from cystic fibrosis in May.

Becky Benson, cousin of Chloe and event organiser, said: “I feel it’s right to give something back.

“The Electric Church is the perfect place for the event. It’s got a great atmosphere and is very inviting for people who just want to chill out.

“There are no words to describe how wonderful a person Chloe was and the loss has been so great that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to put it into words.

“We’re hoping raise as much as possible but it’s also about getting people together in the community to have a good time.

“She lived for the moment so we think it’s a fitting way to remember her. She has the brightest outward look on life and I am proud to be part of her family.

Running from 12pm to 9pm, the acoustic acts include Beth James, Ian Scanlan, Mickey Van Gelder, Rob Lane, Mark Gollins, Kings Pistol, Nathan Anderson, Callum McCormack, The Grey Skys, Evan Kirwin, Hanami Family and Mick Beatle DJ.

A silent auction is also taking place for a signed Oasis vinyl.
