YOUNG musicians are set to hold a concert tonight to fundraise for the Ukrainian humanitarian emergency.
Bands and musicians from west Dorset and Devon are coming together to perform in Charmouth to raise funds for the war-torn country.
The event will be held on Friday, April 1, in the Village Hall on Wesley Close from 7.30pm and will feature several sets from bands and solo performers.
Confirmed artists include Samsa (formerly The Velveteen Vigilantes), Exeter based funk band Bishop Sycamore, Tristan O’Leary, Biba Blyth, Sideways Shapes, Amelie Whitely, Jesse R and The Blinds.
All funds raised will be split between two Dorset aid groups.
Donations will support the efforts of the pub landlord of the Shave's Cross Inn, Tom Littledyke, and the convoy of aid vehicles his team is coordinating from his historic pub in Marshwood.
His team have visited Ukraine twice with deliveries in the last few weeks and organisers of the gig have said they were delighted that Mr Littledyke would come and say a few words on the night.
Funds raised on the night will also go towards Help from Bournemouth to Ukraine.
Entry on the door is from 7pm, with the first act set to perform at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £8 for adults, £4 for under 16s and £20 for a family ticket.
