As you all know, Val has had an incredibly tough 2018 so far. Her 12-week chemotherapy treatment has been followed by 6 weeks of radiotherapy. During this time she continued gigging and being band manager for Bad Influence, kept her household ticking over and was still selflessly loving and supportive to the needs of her family and friends. She has remained unbelievably upbeat, active and fearless.

Val turns 60 this year and the chosen party date is Saturday 8th December 2018.

Jake, Jess and I thought an epic party was the only way to celebrate not just the occasion but also the incredible woman that Val is and how much she means to us all. We are discussing many plans, but ultimately all depends on help with funds!

Whatever you feel you can donate, however small, will all go towards making 2018 a year she will remember for an epic celebration full of love, music, laughter and more than a few drinks.

FYI - Val does know there will be a party and when, but all details are top secret so please do not discuss anything with her and kindly do not share this page on any social media! The Facebook event is a private, closed group so that she cannot see it.

Thanks and much love, Gordon, Jake and Jess xx
