A GROUP of local musicians are holding a benefit concert in Miserden Village Hall on Saturday, March 11 to raise funds for staff from the Carpenter's Arms whose livelihoods have been affected by the recent fire at the pub.

Acts performing at the Phoenix Concert will include Blondes with Beards, Discovery, Edd Donovan and the Gloucester Diamonds.

The fire at the Carpenter's Arms at the end of January put the pub temporarily out of business and although the insurance will pay for the rebuilding, it does not cover any recompense for the part time staff who work there, who are temporarily laid off and without income.

The musicians are holding the Phoenix Concert as a way of saying thank you to the staff for all they have done for the local community and the local music scene.

All proceeds raised will go to the staff of the Carpenter's Arms .

  •  The Phoenix Concert is on Saturday, March 11 at Miserden Village Hall from 1.30pm to 6pm. Entry £10 (£5 for children) includes soft drinks and snacks.
