good souls _________ Statement from Starsailor's James Walsh
I just thought it was time to respond to the small amount of controversy surrounding my appearance at the forthcoming Hillsborough tribute concert relating to an 'alledged' gig with 'The Sun'. This is particularly upsetting for me as I was approached by The Sun recently to write an article about Hillsborough and the forthcoming events commemorating the 20 years. As an avid Liverpool fan and knowing the hatred towards the paper I point blank refused to write the article as I knew the upset that doing something like this would cause. The gig in question from which all this has sprung from was in fact a gig for a cancer charity which 'The Sun' became involved in. I felt I owed it to the charity to complete the show as I had already agreed to do it. Basically anybody who thinks that any gossip or tittle tattle that appears in the showbiz pages wipes out all the good work that I have done for this club over the years (performing in various charity gigs,contributing to the hillsborough cd,Ray Kennedy tribute,Spirit Of Shankly gig) then I'm sorry you are wrong.
