Juddy Hamshaw started the Stars In Our Eyes Roadshow over 10 years ago with a vision of raising £1,000,000 for charity. Dedicating his own time and money alongside the singers and the technical team to get the show up and running he’s played a vital part in getting the show to where it is today. Through both good and bad times he helped keep the focus on our goal and with no official funding or financial support until recently we’re all proud to say we’re part of the Stars In Our Eyes team.
In 2013 Juddy took a turn for the worst when he was diagnosed with Cancer. Despite this he still kept the show going and played an active part in the show for as long as he possibly could. Sadly on the 2nd June 2013 Juddy lost his fight with Cancer and we lost our founder, leader, compare and an amazing friend.
Juddy always wanted to get to that £1,000,000 goal so in his honor the team behind the show have dedicated to keeping it up and running with Yvonne & Colin taking up the responsibility to help drive us forward.
The driving force behind Stars In Our Eyes! Colin Rufus who helped run Stars In Our Eyes for 8 years, sadly died on 28th October 2021 after going into hospital with a bowel complaint. Colin will be remembered for his charm and the lasting effect he had on other people. He would only have to walk into a room and when he left, he would have gained many many friends. Anyone who knew Colin would agree that the Stars In Our Eyes show was his life and soul, he was dearly loved by alot of people. Colin did everything behind the scenes – He did all the show’s advertising and also did the publicity such as appearances on ITV Calendar and BBC Radio 1. He was never a performer but he was the one who kept everything rolling. He will be missed by everyone here at Stars In Our Eyes.
