Franks To Play Little Fighters Gig

17th Feb 2010

Everyman Gig for The Little Fighters

Conjoined twins born to an east Cork family have captured people’s hearts!

The conjoined boys have earned the nickname ‘the little fighters’ as a result of their extraordinary battle to stay alive.

Joined at the chest, doctors weren’t sure if they would survive pregnancy but they are thriving and will undergo a 20 hour separation surgery in London later this year.

Angie from Cork and Algerian-born Azzedine spoke of their joy and pride in their boys Hassan and Hussein, describing them as “a gift”.

“It was never expected that they would live and do as well as they are” said Angie, “we hope that after the operation they will be two healthy individuals that will live long healthy lives.”

Family and friends have come together to organise a benefit concert in aid of the boys surgery.

Headlining the bill are The Frank and Walters and guests.

Tickets are €25 with all proceeds going directly towards the cost of the boys surgery in London.
