This section concerns charity events held in support of the Sammy Johnson Memorial Fund. The fund was initially set up by Jimmy Nail, Tim Healey and Kevin Whately. A few of the shows have had contributions from Dick Clements and Ian La Frenais, in the form of new Auf Weidersehen, Pet sketches.
Full details of the charity may be found on the official site.
We have been to all of the shows from the start, including volunteering as “crew” at the last couple. Some of our souvenirs below:
