T-Rex, along with David Bowee and his band, will be performing at the charity concert to raise money for the unit, which will bring all the services for diabetes patients together for the first time.

The holiday is being offered by Smartavillas, and the winner will be drawn on the night of the concert.

From the Bolan and Bowie era, Paul Fenton will be topping the bill with his band T-Rex at the event, which is to be compered by former Heckmondwike businessman Mike Smith.

The two have been friends since they met at Carlton Road Infant School in Batley Carr when they were just four years old.

Paul and Mike have taken different paths since schooldays, but have remained firm friends.

Paul has always been a professional drummer, while Mike set up his Mike's Carpets business and regularly works for and raises money for local charities.

Supporting T-Rex will be David Bowee and his Band, with lead vocalist Les Holdstock who will perform the entire David Bowie repertoire.

Les, whose appearance, vocals and on-stage performance are strikingly similar to David Bowie during his outlandish Ziggy Stardust phase, has the ability to turn back the clock and make you believe that you are at an actual Bowie performance – complete with dazzling costumes, outrageous make-up and stunning effects.

Dewsbury and District Hospital has already raised more than £100,000 towards the unit, and with just another £60,000 to go, they are well on their way to reaching their target.

The unit will be self-contained for diabetes patients, from a dedicated waiting area and patient records to treatment rooms, nurses, dieticians and podiatrists.

Currently all the services for diabetes patients are in different parts of the hospital and they will be brought together for the first time.

The unit has held a number of events during the past two years, from car boot sales to East Meets West events, concerts and auctions.

Tickets for the concert are £12 and are available from the box office on 01924 442122, or from the hospital.
