Kids in Need to benefit from stringband concert

The Avoca Beach Picture Theatre will play host to the Juglug Stringband on Friday, September 5.

The Jugalug Stringband is a pre-western swing acoustic band playing music from the 1920s and 1930s with vintage instruments.

Instruments used include national guitars and ukulele, banjo, kazoo and nose flute, the washboard, suitcase, the double base and a strohviol, described as a violin with a horn on it.

Profits raised will be donated to Central Coast Kids in Need which aims to provide families with sick children the funds for transport and accommodation when they have to travel away from the Central Coast to receive treatment.

Profits will also be donated to Rotary’s World Polio Eradication program where every dollar raised will be met two for one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

A raffle will also be taking place at the event.
