Three of Southend's leading bands will join forces on Saturday for a special night of music and revelry to support a pressure group.

Joining 4ft Pimp are ska heroes Cisco in the Aquarium and all rounders Reeper in a benefit concert to raise funds for the Priory Park Preservation Society.

Society chairman Peter Walker said: "I am grateful to these musicians for donating their services to our cause. It is most encouraging that people of all ages are dedicated to preserving the town's environment."

Greg Kiss, frontman for 4ft Pimp, said: "We are always happy to play music for such a good cause."

The event will take place at Club Ego in Aviation Way, near St Lawrence Church and is will start at 8pm. Tickets are £4 on the door, with all proceeds to the Preservation Society.
