Kevin's story: The healing power of music

Does music have the power to heal? Kevin O’Neil is a pretty singular guy. in 2015, he was diagnosed with a form of sarcoma. Now, I know we say that sarcoma is a lesser-known cancer, but Kevin had a form that affects only about 15 people globally. Kevin had a massive malignant tumour on the wall of the right side of his chest removed. The surgery was no joke. His right rib cage and a large part of his right shoulder blade had to be removed and then his chest rebuilt. He’s in massive pain and takes a cocktail of drugs to keep going. Why on earth is he organising a progressive music festival? In Dunfermline? In March? In the rain? And even though he builds it, will people come? sarcoma.org.uk oneoffifteen.com Prog In The Park 2.0 proginthepark.com maggies.org Alan Reed and the Daughters of Expediency: reddwarfrecordings.co.uk/ Altres: altres.co.uk Stillmarillion: stillmarillion.uk
