Bands from Southam's eclectic music scene will play together during a charity concert at the Stoneythorpe Hotel on May 10.
The event has been organised by 19-year-old resident Leanne Reeves in aid of the Mercia MS Therapy Centre in Coventry.
Bands playing during the evening will include Static, The Lost Boys and The Above Average Weight Band.
Miss Reeves, who studies history at Coventry University, decided to hold the concert after she found out the centre was struggling to fund its work providing therapies and support for people with multiple sclerosis.
She said: “I had been wanting to do something for charity for a while and read about the centre in a university volunteering newsletter.
“My dad Trevor is in The Above Average Weight Band and they play covers that range from Snow Patrol to Message in a bottle.
“The Lost Boys play Irish music and Static is a Southam College band.
“Southam has got quite a good music scene and as each band has its own following I’m hoping we’ll get a good crowd.”
Tickets are £7, and £5 for under 18's available from the hotel on 812365, or at:
