Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres
Lorraine was recently made the first ambassador for the Maggie fund and is proud to support this very worthy charity.
Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres are fundraising to build a Centre at Freeman’s Hospital to serve people affected by cancer across the North East of England.
There are currently around 5,500 cancer diagnoses a year in this region. Maggie’s North East will offer those people, plus their friends and families, a place to visit to gain information, support and inspiration to not only cope with cancer, but to live their lives to the full.
Maggie’s North East will offer a varied programme of free-of-charge support, including a range of classes, from relaxation to tai chi to art therapy; a range of psychological support in group and one to one sessions run by trained psychologists; a library of information, with cancer support specialists on hand to answer question; benefits advice from benefits officer, and much more.
Maggie’s North East is designed by Foreign Office Architects, with quality in architecture and environment a very important aspect of Maggie’s. Like all Maggie’s Centres, Maggie’s North East will be warm and welcoming with an uplifting, inspiring and positive atmosphere.
Before starting construction on the Centre, Maggie’s need to reach a £3million fundraising target (enough to fund the building plus the first two year’s running costs).

City Hall review
Review: Lorraine Crosby, Newcastle City Hall
by Victoria Watson, Evening Chronicle
HER new album is called Mrs Loud and Lorraine Crosby did not fail to live up to her nickname at the City Hall.
The woman who is most famous for dueting with Meat Loaf had the audience in raptures with her two-hour set, which featured a choir from Heaton Manor School and a guest appearance from long-time friend Bonnie Tyler.
Crosby’s live band, featuring keyboard player Steve Wilson, were phenomenal as they performed tracks from the latest album, as well as a medley of Meat Loaf songs and a cover of the Beatles classic Help!
I have to say that my highlight of the night was seeing a choir of children from my former school accompany Crosby and Tyler, the kids were absolutely note-perfect and made Bonnie’s rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart totally haunting (but in a beautiful way!).
Lorraine packed the show with exciting costume changes and great lighting. My only complaint was the technical difficulties that were experienced through the show.
Crosby paid tribute to the men who put her career into orbit, Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf. Having featured on I Would Do Anything For Love with the latter, Crosby has developed a cult following.
Local lass Lorraine seemed eternally grateful to the fans that packed out the City Hall to raise money for local charity Maggie’s Fund. This is a woman who has been in the industry for over 20 years and she is still proud of her heritage.
Ms Tyler joined Lorraine on stage for an encore and it was touching to see a genuine friendship between these two women.
Lorraine acknowledged, in typical candid fashion, that the reason the fans had been queuing outside for so long was that the soundcheck was delayed.
It may have been cold outside but her excellent vocal performance truly warmed everyone up.
