Tribute gig for buskers who drowned in Canterbury pond
Comments |
The lives of two buskers who drowned in a Canterbury pond will
be celebrated at a special gig tonight.
Hugo Wenn, 17, and Daniel Lloyd, 25, were found in Reed Pond on
Monday, January 30 after both had been reported missing.
Hundreds of floral tributes have been left in the city
centre at the spots where both used to perform.
Last Saturday, Buttermarket Square was packed during a special
memorial, which was also attended by Hugo's family.
Band CoCo and The Butterfields
performed at the weekend and will be headlining tonight's gig
at The Picture House in St Peter's Street from 8.30pm. Their latest
single has also been dedicated to Hugo and Daniel's memory.
Hugo, from Barham, was a former Archbishop's School pupil, while
Daniel, from Wincheap, attended Harvey Grammar School in
Folkestone.
A video of Daniel's
single Guiding Stars has been viewed more than 52,000 times on
YouTube, while a download version also
broke into the iTunes Top 100 earlier this week.
Speaking this week, Hugo's family admitted they have been
"deeply touched" by the public's reaction and thanked all those who
have paid tribute.
Funeral details have yet to be arranged while both families wait
for the outcome of toxicology tests.
Read more reaction in this week's Kentish Gazette, out
Thursday.
