Lambeg Players put on a show for Mark Pollock Trust

The five entertainers are busy rehearsing for the shows which they say will bring the audiences something special featuring, the superb musical talent of two of the province’s most sought after soloists Elizabeth Ross and Laura Kerr and a generous helping of comedy from Colin Boyd and brothers Ian and Paul Bennington.

Liz, Laura, Ian and Colin will just be finished the historic centenary production of Titanic the Musical in Belfast’s Grand Opera House with Belfast Operatic Company.

Well known Lisburn musician Geoffrey Cherry will be leading the band along with pianist Loreto McAuley and percussionist Jeremy Hoy.

Mark Pollock has a particular place in the hearts of Lambeg Players as his mum Barbara and sister Emma are both active members and Colin Boyd is Mark’s uncle. Mark himself was involved in the Lambeg Players pantomimes as a youngster.

For over a decade Mark Pollock was known as an inspiration, an adventure athlete competing in the world’s harshest environments despite becoming completely blind at the age of 22. On the night of the 2nd July 2010 everything changed again. He fell from a second story window fracturing his skull, some ribs and breaking his back in a number of places leaving him paralysed from the waist down. The Mark Pollock Trust hopes to raise significant funds to assist with the capital and ongoing costs specifically associated with his spinal injury - including a team of rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapy equipment, visits to specialised spinal injury activity-based recovery centres and mobility solutions.

You can help Mark to break through the barriers that paralysis and blindness have placed around him.
