Paul Ryan from Circle 3, who are releasing their debut single that day said, ”All bands support or have at least two Coventry City supporters and are all really up for doing this to help raise awareness about the clubs future.

We plan to do this one off to see how it goes, then move it to a bigger venue with a bigger line up if it’s a success. I guess uniting football and music together.

I think this will be a great night as all bands are from Coventry, I've seen them all play so know how good they all are. We had quite a response from bands wanting to jump on board this event.”

Tonight sees Directors, Players from past and present and Supporters come together to help raise funds for the "Your City needs you" appeal which aims to raise funds for the youth development of Coventry City Football Club.

 The event at Escape Bar, The Old Fire Station, Hales Street, Coventry costs £15 and all proceeds will be split between the Sky Blue Trust/Coventry Times appeal and the Former Players Association.

There will be an auction of football memorabilia, including signed Sky Blues' photographs, a signed Pele shirt, a signed Gordon Banks photo, and a signed photo of the England 1966 World Cup winners. Local chart-topping band The Enemy have also donated a signed guitar.

The heroes from the 1987 FA Cup win are expected to attend along with players from the current squad and Chairman Joe Elliot.

Detroit Soul will belt out soul classics, resident DJ Matt Gannon will perform and there will be a raffle of football memorabilia.
