EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1980s, we witness a powerful alliance between Northern celebrities and the National Union of Public Employees as they join forces to combat the closure plans for Newcastle's beloved Fleming Memorial Hospital for Sick Children. The image showcases a group of influential individuals who have come together in solidarity, determined to protect the vital healthcare services provided by this cherished institution. From left to right, we see Alan Hull of Lindisfarne, renowned musician and passionate advocate for social causes. Standing beside him is Kathy Secker, a familiar face on television screens at that time, known for her dedication to community issues. Robert Slowther stands tall among them, representing the National Union of Public Employees with unwavering determination. The presence of Eddie Falkland and Maria Reay further emphasizes the importance of every role within the hospital ecosystem - porters and nurses working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure quality care. And lastly, Ray Laidlaw joins his fellow Lindisfarne bandmate Alan Hull in lending their voices to this noble cause. This photograph serves as a testament not only to these specific individuals but also highlights how musicians and pop groups can utilize their platform beyond entertainment purposes. It captures an era when public figures were actively engaged in fighting for what they believed was right – using their influence to make a difference in society.
