Meet 15 year old Gareth Parr from Hull, who, between some pretty impressive Baritone playing, explains how he has recently had a brain tumour removed followed by chemo, after a series of headaches. We get an insight of what it is like in the early stages of diagnosis as Gareth has to cope with side effects such as hair loss, however this doesn’t stop him from playing his pride and joy! We get a tour round the children’s waiting room as Gareth waits for radiotherapy, where he shows us all the mod cons of the day room- the comfy, bright orange sofa being a personal favourite!

Hey Garath, just watched your film, it’s really good! I like the way the mood shifts from a funny and light hearted start to a more challenging but uplifting ending, well done!
Nice bit of brass too, always does the trick.

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to watch my video, i’d just like to say this, ‘ if you are a patient, a mum or a dad watching my video- be and stay strong. There is light at the end of the tunnel although it may seem miles and miles away!
