The Clarence Adoo Trust was set up to enable him to retain an active and independent life and the concert ha raised over £26,000 for the Trust since 2002. He commented: "Northern Highlights continues to be a very special date in the calendar and it has made a fantastic contribution to the Trust over the years. It's exciting that Hendon Band and Bobby Irvine are coming together once again to raise money for the Trust, and I am enormously grateful to them and everyone involved in the concert for giving of their time and talents in this way."
