A group of Swindon bands have raised more than £1,500 for the Prospect Hospice.

At the special event on March 31 four bands were in attendance to raise money for the hospice based in Wroughton.

The evening kicked off with Ode and the Bebops who got everyone bopping with an infectious skiffle. They were then joined by JD and the Chasers.

They were then followed by Gina with her own vocal style before Penfold blasted onto the stage with their rendition of ELO's Blue Sky, and ending the evening with the ever-popular band Locomotion.

Community fundraiser Maggie Gill said: "Dave Kingsbury deserves a huge thank you for organising such a brilliant evening for the second year running raising much-needed funds while giving everyone such a fantastic time.

"This terrific event was produced entirely cost free with the co-operation of our lovely local community. Prospect Hospice needs to find £1.7m annually from voluntary sources so special events like this mean everything to us."

The money will go towards caring for people with life-threatening illnesses together with their families and carers. It is the only hospice in North East Wiltshire and serves 300,000 people.
