A Dundee mum-of-three who survived a brain tumour has hailed the success of a charity music festival on Saturday which was organised to raise funds for the hospital ward that saved her life.
Lyndsey Tinney (34) is now looking ahead to making next year’s Neurofest even bigger and better following the triumphant event at the city’s Glenesk Park.
Lyndsey brought together a host of local talent to help the neuroscience ward at Ninewells Hospital and around 600 people of all ages turned out in support.
Dundee chart stars The Law were joined in this year’s line-up by upcoming acts The Mirror Trap, The Twist, Dave?, tinylittlerobots and brand new band Mass Consensus.
View bassist Kieren Webster made the festival a family affair, thrilling onlookers when he joined in The Law’s acoustic set and played View classics Gran’s for tea and Realisation during the set, alongside Ben E. King classic Stand by Me.
After the half-hour set, he happily chatted and posed for photographs with young fans.
Kieren is the second cousin of Lyndsey, who established the event after the unit saved her and her unborn son’s life five years ago.
As well as a stellar line-up of local musical talent, the family affair also included carnival rides and face-painting for children.
Since beating the illness five years ago, Lyndsey has devoted much of her time to raising money for the ward. So far she has raised over £15,000.
Lyndsey had even more reason to celebrate on Saturday after getting the all-clear from her latest brain scan.
