A FAMILY day of live music is to take place at The Camrose on Saturday, May 23 to support Jack Bristow’s fundraising appeal.

All money raised will go to Piam Brown Ward in Southampton where the Basingstoke 10 year-old has had his treatment for testicular cancer.

There will be a bouncy castle, burger van and more TBA. The event will last from 4pm until 11.30pm.

Tickets are £5 from Jack’s mum or on the door. Kids are admitted free of charge.

Local promoter Shani Saunders runs through the line up:

"B-FUNKT

B-funkt is an 11 piece funk/soul/rare groove outfit based throughout Basingstoke & neighbouring areas. We consist of Darrell's soulful lead vocals, supported by two dynamic backing vocalists. With a monumental horn section and a tight, energetic back-line, these members come together to create one of the finest funk bands in the area.

THE TWIN DRACULA

Royal County Rock and Roll. Four like minded young men, playing in a punk band formed on an immovable foundation of intensity, aggression, and a total lack of compromise.

STUPiD  

A big, bad ball of energy and fun. Come and enjoy the 'STUPiD' experience.

Renowned for their diverse, catchy tunes and energetic live shows, STUPiD have been banging out bonkers sets for 10 years and are guaranteed to get you hooked.

DED `ORSE

Described by Kerrang as the bastard son of Clutch and early Black Sabbath. Uncompromising, controversial songs, bludgeoning riffs, soaring vocals. DedOrse...believe.

L.U.X

Basingstoke 4 piece

GEEZAPUNX

BRINK THEORY

Evolved from 3 friends jamming together, brought together by a love of writing & performing music. Forming in Winter 2011 and rising from the ashes of former band Stricken 22, in which vocalist/guitarist Sam Pitter played for almost a decade, BRINK THEORY is a culmination of years of musical endeavour & passion.

SO CLOSE

A new band with frontman Andreas Schipelbaum! Can`t wait to see these guys perform and this charity gig is the perfect opportunity to do so.

TYRELL PAYNE

Basingstoke 17 yr old who has been playing guitar and piano since the age of 9, in a band by the age of 12... who stumbled over his voice a couple of years ago and is now working on his solo project! One of his favourite genres is 90's/2000's R&B, with influences by artists such as Usher, Marques Houston, Aaliyah and Little Simz. Watch this space!

LEA RUMSEY

15 yr old self taught guitarist, from Basingstoke. This young artist wowed me whilst playing in her music exam audition at school, bags of potential and one to look out for on the music scene in the future!"
