The event is being held at the Hog in Armour pub on Charing Cross in Norwich for child bereavement charity Nelson’s Journey.

Rock and pop covers act Tattoo’d Cow, lounge-swing quartet The Ferries and DJ HumpleSkillSpin will all take to the stage between 7.30pm and midnight.

Kit Cecconi is the co-organiser of the event, as well as guitarist and keyboard player with both bands. He has been involved with Nelson’s Journey for the past seven years.

He said: “Nelson’s Journey is an invaluable service for Norfolk children who are bereaved of a parent, sibling or any significant other.

“The support of their staff and volunteers provides a huge self-esteem boost to hundreds of local children, helping them to make sense of their grief and find light at the end of a tunnel.

“We hope to raise more than £500 for the charity through this event.”

Nicki Gibson, marketing and fundraising officer for Nelson’s Journey, added: “We are very grateful to Tattoo’d Cow, The Ferries and DJ HumpleSkillSpin for their support and dedication in raising funds for our charity, the event looks to be a great night of entertainment and we hope that the night is a sell out, we wish them every success.”

Tickets are priced at £5 per head and can be booked in advance, from www.xmasfundraiser.eventsbot.com
