THERE is a memorial stone and sundial for Eddie Cochran at St Martin’s Hospital and you can make a donation in memory of this star to the Sirona Foundation Trust (see www.sirona-cic.org.uk), St Martin’s Hospital, Clara Cross Lane, Bath, BA2 5RP.
American rock ‘n’ roll star Eddie Cochran played his last concert at the Bristol Hippodrome on Easter Saturday, April 16, 1960, just hours before his fatal car crash near Chippenham.
There is also a memorial placed at the crash site. Eddie was just 21 and he appeared in three films. There is a 3CD collection featuring 56 original recordings BT3110.
We hope all his fans in Chippenham will support this worthwhile project for the hospital.
