Other artists including Mick Kenten, Roger Humphries and Steve the Fiddle also performed. The show was compered by Richard Headingley, from Chicory Tip.

Singer songwriter Phil Lee, from Nashville, made an appearance too.

Around 30 people went along to listen to the live entertainment and it raised £100.

Cllr Ellen is borough representative for Sheerness East, which Marine Parade falls under.

He said: “It was great. I’m really pleased with how it went. The musicians were all wonderful and I’d like to thank everyone who came along.”

Jenny Hurkett, who runs the centre, said there was a nice atmosphere at the gig.

The money will go to help out those affected by the blaze.
