Music started at 12:00 and featured: The Unlikely Brothers, Southside Jimmy, Graham Robins, Dan Plews, Meltbak,Charlie Barnard , Bronson, Alex Ostrowoski and Fozz.A big thank you goes out to all the bands who generously gave up their time on the day, to the firends and family who helped with the running of the event and to Sharon and Keith at Trekkers for letting us use the pub. We eventually raised £220 which goes to the Drake music project
