Music For Ukraine Returns To Quay On Sunday Following Successful Launch

Music For Ukraine will return to the Quay Arts this Sunday (April 3) with a host of talented local musicians performing from midday.

The weekly event got off to a flying start last weekend with enthusiastic audiences for all acts.

More than £2,000 was raised for MAD-Aid, the local charity which funds and organises the delivery of donations to Ukraine and surrounding countries, while setting up orphanages and refugee camps in the area.

Local musician Jim Thorn put together a varied programme of live acts which included mainstays of the local scene such as Paul Armfield, Brian Sharpe, JC & Angelina and Damien Paul.

Jim said:

"I was delighted with the audience support given that it was also Mothers' Day and our event was organised at very short notice.

"Not only was an excellent sum raised for charity, but it was a great social occasion and a chance for lots of musicians and fans to see each other again, in some cases for the first time since Covid first appeared".

The line-up for this Sunday's event has been announced and features a litany of local acts from 12pm to 8pm.
