The Dove Holes-based multi-instrumentalist, pictured, is unable to fulfill his bookings so his friends wanted to do something to help him.

Loscoe State Opera melodeon player Andy Martin, who is organising the concert, said: “It’s been no problem getting performers to give their free time. Jolly Jock is well loved and admired. We hope all his fans will come and support what we are doing.”
