MUSICIANS will be raising cash for Japan’s earthquake victims at the weekend.

Local acts will turn up the volume at The Hobgoblin in Sheep Street in Bicester.

They will play on Friday night while DJs will entertain revellers on Saturday, and drinkers can enjoy a barbecue on Sunday.

Assistant manager Ben Fraser, pictured middle, said: “This all started as a party to celebrate the fact that a few of us had been here for two years.

“But seeing everything that happened in Japan, we decided to do it all as a charity gig.”

Mr Fraser, 29, said: “We are hoping for a few hundred people.

“We just want to raise anything that can help out. You don’t realise how lucky you are until you see things like this happen.”
