Every day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that cancer doesn’t stop these teenagers being teenagers. We know that young people have a much better chance if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we have created specialist units that aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. And we want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance.
When Fleetwood Mac sang " You Can Go your Own Way" they probably didn't have Tony Moore in mind.
Where the average musician will probably travel to gigs in an old van, crammed to the roof with musical equipment, Tony will be elevating the art of touring to new heights and proving that not even the sky's the limit for his next tour as he takes a small light aircraft and flys solo to some rather unusual venues.
In 2007 Tony created "Acoustic Airwaves" as a unique touring concept to help raise money and awareness for Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) by flying to 15 different airfields in 9 days and giving spontaneous performances right where he landed. From Hangers to Bars, Landing Strips to Workshops, each local destination created a make shift "stage" for him to play to capacity crowds. Not only would a challenge of this scale have been daunting for an experienced pilot, but Tony accomplished all this having gained his pilots license only 2 months before.
Now, in September 2008, Tony is about to repeat the groundbreaking success of that first tour by concentrating the whole event into just 3 days. Armed only with a Gibson Acoustic guitar, portable Yamaha Keyboard and small PA system Tony will fly in and play 6 gigs from as far away as Netherthorpe in the North of the country right down to Goodwood on the south coast, all in less than 72 hours !
