Blue Sunday - Tea Party for ME - The Concert 2025
An online concert to raise awareness of ME and also to raise money for ME Research UK and SMILE for ME

About this event
My older sister has severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and is tubefed and bedridden. I want to do what I can to help raise awareness of ME and to fundraise for research to find treatments and a cure for this horrible illness. Inspired by Anna Redshaw, a person with ME and the founder of Blue Sunday - The Tea Party for ME, I wanted to support Blue Sunday so have organised (and am also performing in) an online concert to raise awareness of ME and also to raise money for ME Research UK and SMILE for ME.

ME Research UK fund high-quality biomedical research into the causes, consequences and treatment of ME.
Smile For ME send personalised gifts to nominated Myalgic Encephalomyelitis sufferers and their carers to brighten their day and let them know someone cares.


This online concert will feature a wide range of performances from amazing musicians and performers who have all kindly given their time. There will be closed captions throughout and no flashing lights to make this event as inclusive as possible.
