Around 560 people gathered in the Spa’s Ocean Room to raise over £4,000 for Tom and his young family.
Speaking after the event, Mr Davenport said: “I’m humbled, and spirited, by the generosity and kindness of everyone involved.
"The effort and success of the event is totally a reflection of the community spirit here in Scarborough.
"A community of talent and kindness that gives a rock and roll middle finger to those who might have any doubt about the musical and talent nucleus of a small town like ours.”
“Everyone who came, from near and far, old friends and newer friends, made it such a big partaaay.
“You did make this old fart’s dream come true.”
A Just Giving Page to support Mr Davenport and his family has so far raised over £11,000. It can be found at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/tomdavenport4eva.
