Boon Army can grant star’s wish

Inspiral Carpets' Clint Boon and his painting of the band's famous cow logo

CLINT Boon’s latest work of art is hoping to drum up support to provide a wish for a sick child to see Father Christmas.

The Oldham Inspiral Carpets star (53) is calling on his “Boon Army” of fans to raise money for charity When You Wish Upon a Star.

Each contributor to his online raffle will be in with a chance of winning his painting of the band’s iconic cow logo.

The Greater Manchester-based charity needs £500 to send a child to Lapland this Christmas.

Jen Hughes, charity fund-raiser, said: “When You Wish Upon A Star is a charity whose primary aim is to grant the wishes of children with a life-threatening or terminal illness.

“Each day we receive letters from parents of sick children from all over the country, asking if their child can have a wish granted.

“I contacted Clint to ask if there was any way he could help us out and when he accepted we were delighted.
