Local musician Charlie Smith (pictured) is hosting a charity gig for St. Francis Animal Welfare at The Junction Inn, St Denys, next month.

On On Sunday, 16th of November, ten local artists will be putting on a special 5-hour show, from 2pm to 7pm. 

This is a completely free entry event, and attendees are encouraged to make an optional donation to support the fantastic St Francis Animal Welfare charity. 

Charlie said: “Anything you can spare would make a massive difference. Come along on the 16th to support local live music and a local charity. Thanks in advance for your support.”

St Francis Animal Welfare is a registered charity. Their shelter is based at Sunnyside Cottage, Mortimer’s Lane, Eastleigh, Hampshire. They care for, rehabilitate and rehome numerous domestic animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, caged birds, and various small mammals. 

Charlie Smith is an acoustic singer-songwriter from Southampton. He performs solo (acoustic guitar & vocals) and has played and hosted events at venues such as The Railway Inn, Flack Manor Brewery, and Crosfield Hall, as well as working with promoters such as Weekend Offender and DHP Family to play gigs at venues such as Fifth Hants Volunteer Arms, Portsmouth, and The Grace, London.

Alongside Charlie, the event will feature performances from Simon Maggs & People Like Us, Nick Haynes, Milly Thimaraus & Laurence Henderson, Paul Linberry, Nic Forsyth, D’Kenzion, Now We Are Dead, and Fragile Lucy.
