Three teenage pop groups from the Tenby area combined their talents to put on an excellent 'gig' in Saundersfoot's Regency Hall last month. The members of 'Johnny Prophet' and 'New Black', who play all their own original rock music, and 'Hypermusic', who cover a band called 'Muse', decided that the proceeds from the event should be given to help the appeal fund for Tenby's new Lifeboat Station. The idea was suggested by group member James Van Nguyen and the 11 boys and girls, who are either at college or attend Greenhill School, were delighted that their concert attracted enthusiastic support. This enabled them to raise the excellent sum of £430 for the RNLI. In appreciation of their wonderful effort, the lifeboat crew invited the young people to the present boathouse. They were shown over RNLB RFA Sir Galahad by station training co-ordinator Bob James and mechanic Steve Lowe, and presented a gratifyingly bulging packet of money to lifeboat operations manager Fred Broomhead. Tenby Appeal secretary Jennie McIntosh congratulated them on the success of their venture and the wonderful total raised. She said that the RNLI was always particularly appreciative of support from a younger generation, which would ensure the continuing success of the lifeboat service, and presented each group with a certificate of thanks. The musicians replied that they were pleased to have supported this worthwhile local charity and hoped to stage another concert to raise further funds for the appeal.
