A LIVE music night will help raise money for a community playground project.

The event, taking place at The Britannia Inn in Wollaston, is supporting plans to install new goalposts at the Kent Road Playground on the Wollaston Farm estate.

The evening will feature music from The Busketeers and Friends.

Black Country Radio, Black Country Extra and GigCaritias are supporting the charity gig by providing sound equipment and sourcing local artists to perform at the event.

Stourbridge musician Brian Dakin, also known as Billy Spakemon, said: "It is a pleasure for the Busking For Charity family to support the Cllr Tromans and the Lion Team’s efforts."

"We are committed to our chosen local organizations for 2026.

"With the support of Black Country Radio, Xtra, Gig Caritas and all the wonderful local performers who give up their time and talent we will always endeavour to help any group that is trying to improve the lives of local people and especially the children who are our future."

The fundraiser was launched just before Christmas by the Stourbridge Lion Liberal Democrat team on behalf of the Wollaston Farm Tenants and Residents Association.

So far, the appeal has raised £460 of the £900 target.

The fundraising gig will take place on Sunday, February 15, from 6pm to 8pm.

Paige Sheppard, landlady of The Britannia Inn said: “We are delighted to be hosting this great event."
