Recently, friends of mine who work in the @nhswebsite asked me to send a video message to thank and cheer on the frontline troops and in it I, (half) jokingly said, we should all have a big party together when this is all over. As so many people responded to the comment, I thought, ‘why not?’ By the time life returns to normal we will all want to celebrate together and, I would like to do my bit to reward and thank everyone who has been holding our lives together in these most difficult of times. So I extend an invitation to all NHS doctors, nurses, support workers, porters and cleaners plus all blue light staff, ambulance, police and fire service (and importantly to their plus ones) to let their hair down with me and dance off the cobwebs to rejoice in the end of this emergency. The gig will take place on Wednesday October 28th 2020 at The Brighton Centre Tickets will be available at 7pm on Friday 17th April from here: lnk.to/FBSNHS #FatboySlim #NHS #Brighton #ProtectTheNHS
