All the musicians are giving their services free of charge.

Entry fee is a £10 donation which will be donated to Casual Minds - Matter which was launched in December by five friends from Burnley connected through the loss of someone close to them from suicide.

They joined together to form a support network to banish the stigma attached to men's mental health and 'Casual Minds - Matter' was formed.

Open sessions are held and those who attend are able to talk about anything on their mind... from everyday problems and worries to wider issues including housing and family difficulties.

The five behind the project are Joe Trafford, Justin Pate, Ben Riley (Chock), Leigh Smith (Smithy) and Darren Tahir.
