The Blues Brothers in Phoenix Square February 2011

Digging out their pork pie hats and polishing their shades Blues Brothers fans gathered at the Phoenix cinema for a charity screening of the classic 1980’s film to raise funds for Hope Against Cancer.

Accompanied by music from the Kainé Gospel Choir and spurred on by the Cleveland College Dancers, partygoers demonstrated they were still able to Shake Ya Tail Feather and give some Respect!

The evening raised £225 for our local cancer research charity and Gary and Gill Meadows along with David and Janet Southwood won the prize for the best dressed!

They have also funded nursing fellowships, relating to patient care.
