EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we see three brave sky-divers who embarked on a thrilling sponsored parachute jump for charity. These courageous individuals not only conquered the skies but also managed to raise an impressive sum of £381 for a noble cause. Their selfless act of bravery and determination is truly inspiring. Shortly before American singer Tony Bennett was set to take the stage at Newcastle City Hall, these three sky-divers paid him a visit in his dressing room. With hearts full of gratitude and excitement, they handed over the hard-earned money to Mr. Bennett on behalf of the Variety Club of Great Britain. Amongst them was Alan Ferris, manager of Tiffanys nightclub in Newcastle, who proudly presented Mr. Bennett with the cash and cheques collected during their fundraising efforts. Accompanying him were two dedicated members of his staff, Ken Slowther and Trevor Jones. This heartwarming moment captured in time showcases not only the incredible generosity displayed by these sky-divers but also highlights how music can bring people together for a greater cause. The photograph serves as a reminder that acts of kindness can transcend boundaries and unite individuals from different walks of life. As we delve into this snapshot from 15th March 1973, we are reminded that even amidst all the glitz and glamour associated with entertainers like Tony Bennett, there lies an opportunity to make a difference in society through simple acts such as this charitable endeavor.
