For Dion Dublin, this isn’t just another event it’s a reflection of a lifelong passion. Best known for his successful football career with Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Coventry City, and his television roles on BBC’s Homes Under the Hammer, Match of the Day, and Final Score, Dion has always had music running through his veins, as his parents were musicians.

A talented percussionist and songwriter, Dion is the inventor of “The Dube”, a percussion instrument he designed and patented himself — now used by musicians around the world, including Courtney Pine, Ed Sheeran, and Sting. He regularly performs with bands and at music festivals, championing live music and the power it has to bring people together.

“Music is one of the other big things in Dublin’s life and in February he will present a funk, soul and Motown night at Manchester’s Albert Hall featuring Fillet-O-Soul, which includes artists from Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra and the Strictly Come Dancing band.

His dad played the bass guitar right up until his death, aged 90, a couple of months ago, and his mum, a district nurse in the NHS for decades, played the mandolin. His sister Carmen played piano and all three brothers, Ash, Clem and Eddie Jr, were very musical. Dublin himself invented a percussion instrument he calls The Dube and still has about 300 of them he had professionally made in storage somewhere.”

Raising funds for The Dianne Oxberry Trust

The Dianne Oxberry Trust focuses on raising awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer among people across the North West.

The speed of diagnosis is vital in securing a better outcome, but this diagnosis comes too late for many.

They aim to help people spot the symptoms so they can inform their GPs as early as possible. They are also working to raise awareness of the symptoms amongst the region’s GPs to help avoid losing precious time through misdiagnosis.
