Mike Joyce raffles his platinum disc for Back on Track!

He said ‘I’ve been working with Back on Track for the last few years and I’m taking this opportunity to try and generate some much needed funding for the people they support in Manchester. Every penny that is generated will go towards the fantastic work that the charity does.’

All the money raised will towards our work supporting people with mental health problems – especially people who have struggled with social isolation during lockdown this year. Covid19 has been an extremely difficult period for the people who usually come to our centre and our work is needed more than ever. This will make a massive difference.

The Platinum Disc raffle opened today and will run until 9pm on the 13th of September. You can get your tickets at: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/queenisdeadplatinumdisc

This is a once in a lifetime chance to own a unique piece of music history. As Mike says, ‘It’s an extremely rare piece of music memorabilia and as such, it’s virtually impossible to quantify what it’s worth as this is the very first time such a unique item has ever been offered to the public.’

And do also tune into Tim’s Listening Party on the 12th September to hear Mike and Tim talk about ‘The Queen is Dead’ album. In case you need reminding of its brilliance, it was voted the greatest album of ALL TIME by the NME!
