Two evenings of music will take place in Bolton to raise funds for an anti-bullying charity.
Singer songwriter Tony Ray has been producing music for four decades.
He was in the town's first punk band The Rawboys and has recorded eight CDs.
He will perform this Sunday at 4pm at Th3 Guys in the centre of Bolton.
There will be an anti-bullying video for his song, Budgie Among the Pigeons.
And on Friday, October 20, he will perform at town centre bar The Churchgate from 9pm.
He will be joined by singer songwriters, including Emma Hunt from Cumbria, Olivia Booth from Warrington, Nico Harmony from Stockport and Jeffarma, a Bolton-based poet.
At both events there will be a bucket collection with funds going to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.
Mr Ray said: "We are performing this event for the charity to raise awareness of all kinds of bullying be it at home, in the workplace and in public."
