A band performing at Buile Hill Park Hall’s charity gig this weekend have expressed their excitement ahead of the event.

North-West band Elephant Juice are performing at the gig this Friday (24 March) with all ticket sales directly going to Salford4Good.

Salford Battle of the Bands winners Bleech will support the band.

Robert Murphy one half of the band, said: “We usually play at Birthdays and weddings and happy occasions.

“We just thought it would be a good idea to…put on a concert for charity.”

It will be a family affair when Mr Murphy steps onto the stage on Friday as his daughter is performing in Bleech. He said: “As a parent I will have a lump in my throat, but I think as a musician I’ll be enjoying what they are doing and hopeful that the night goes well.”

The Salford4Good cost of living appeal was set up earlier this year to raise funds for local charities and community groups.

Mr Murphy recognised the importance of local music and its talent he said: “We are trying to help promote local young bands to give them a bit of exposure.”

Just under 200 tickets have been sold so far and Mr Murphy hopes more come to the gig.

The concert is set to begin at 7pm this Friday with tickets still available for the event.
