Hartlepool’s Phoenix Variety Showgroup, who have raised nearly £26,000 for numerous good causes, will perform at The Smallcrafts Club on Friday, May 13.

Their line-up features Brian Edmenson on bass and lead guitar; Derrick Rowbotham on rhythm guitar, drums and vocals; Philip McKean on drums and rhythm guitar; Olwyn Ward on ukulele; Linda Edmenson on vocals and Shirley Rowbotham on vocals and drums.

Proceeds from next month’s performance at The Smallcrafts Club, in Commercial Street, Hartlepool, will help to support people from Ukraine affected by the invasion of their country.
