Story
Acoustic duo Second Chance (Mike and Lesley Braccia) have dedicated their performances to raising money for local charities since 2022.
In addition to performances in the community, Mike and Lesley also have a monthly online show, Second Chance Studio, on their YouTube channel. Videos of performances can be accessed via the Second Chance web page:

On Sunday 6th October we streamed an online show as part of our fundraising effort. This is in 2 parts on YouTube.

Any money raised from singing engagements is given to charity.
The first album released by Second Chance, "Did you think of me?", raised money for the Georgina Cancer Unit at Russells Hall Hospital.
Second Chance have also been supporters of Black Country Radio's "Busking for Charity", both as performers and audience members, since 2022.
Mike and Lesley met at a local folk club after losing their respective partners in 2019. They formed the duo and became a couple, marrying in April 2024.
