This concert is in support of The Mark Wright Project, a charity set up in memory of Corporal Mark Wright GC, who was killed in action in an attempt to save the lives of other injured soldiers. The charity supports ex-service men and women, and the bereaved families of those who have been killed, to overcome not just the visible but the invisible wounds of war.
