BUSKING charity fundraiser Norman Evans has launched his biography to tell his life story.
The book, entitled We May As Well Dance, has been co-written by two friends, Stephen Proudman, the chairman of Redcars Real Opportunity Centre (ROC) and ROC supporter Michael Beckett and published by ROC, priced 5.
Wheelchair user Norman, who is the ROC's president, was given the Freedom of the Borough in 2005 for raising hundreds of thousands of pounds busking, notably in Redcar High Street.
He explains why the book has been written and how the title was chosen: I hope reading about how I learnt to appreciate the positives in life will help others to adopt a similar approach to their lives. Someone once said to me, 'Life may not be the party we hope for, but while we're here we might as well dance.
Copies of the book are available from Mr Evans, when he busks in Redcar's Morrisons supermarket as well as ROC's offices at Coatham Memorial Hall and the seafront Shopmobility office.
