Ref. 75682-23TSUNAMI APPEAL: GUITAR wizards will be strumming up support for the appeal at a gig in Old Town.

Students and teachers from the Guitar School Swindon are staging an evening of fancy fretwork at the Victoria pub as part of STAFF.

Former session guitarist Howard Tucker, who founded the school two years ago, said: "Our students put on their own shows every six to eight weeks for the Prospect Hospice. We thought this would be a good opportunity for them to use their talents to raise money for another good cause."

On the bill are Ubik, John and Beth, Harry and Tom, Heidi Rue, Mike Anstey, Afro Taxi, the Charred Hearts and Satellite Seventeen.

Entry is free, but there will be collection buckets.

The music starts at 7pm on Sunday.
