An intimate gig with a pop music icon is taking place in memory a beloved brother who died of a brain tumour.

Abbie Tosh, 21, was in the middle of her A-levels when her brother Hedingham School pupil Arran, 13, was diagnosed with a tumour.

Arran died in 2014 and his family went on to set up The Smile of Arran Trust in his honour, to raise money for other people battling brain tumours.

Sister Abbie wanted to do something a bit different to further the charity’s work and so decided to focus on one of her brother’s biggest interests - music.

Smile Festival, the charity’s first ever music event, took place in July and now one of the headline stars of the festival, Graeme Clark, will play an intimate gig at what Abbie hopes will be the first of many music showcases to follow.

Graeme, best known for his time in Scottish band Wet Wet Wet, but also a successful solo artist, will be performing at the first ever Smile Presents gig.

In his career he has had more than 30 chart hits, including three UK number one singles and even won a Brit award with his band, most famous for Four Weddings and a Funeral tune Love Is All Around.

Speaking about the gig, Graeme said he was “humbled” to be able to support the charity with another concert.

He said: “Arran and I share a common interest - a love of music.

“It is so exciting for me to be a part of another event in aid of The Smile of Arran Trust.

“Again I am humbled to be able to play a small part in this fantastic cause that raises awareness of a brilliant charity.”

The show takes place on Friday, February 2, at AFC Sudbury’s Kings Marsh stadium.

Tickets for the concert cost £15 plus a booking fee on top. Doors will open at 6.30pm on Friday, February 2.
