‘Adam is doing wonderful work for us with this concert,’ said Cancer Research UK Shotton manager Jean Kenward.
Adam said: ‘I was spurred on to do it following the death of my nan, who had cancer. Everyone is welcome and hopefull we can pull in a big crowd and generate a really good atmosphere as well as raising plenty of money for the charity.’

The shop is launching a book department this month. Stocked up with about 500 books, both new and used, the store will become a treasure trove for the avid reader.
