We Shall Overcome in back and will be returning to The Ropemakers this weekend.

The Bridport pub is hosting a day of music and solidarity to raise funds for Bridport Community Fridge and Cycling Without Age Bridport.

It's all part of the We Shall Overcome initiative, a movement of musicians, artists and community organisers who want to do something for those affected by austerity.

The event will take place on Saturday, October 9 and is packed full of local musicians, choirs and poets, all giving their time to help raise money and awareness for local projects.

Keith Hatch, one of the organisers of the event, said: "We shall overcome is very much a pro-community initiative with events across the country aimed at supporting local projects. We have been organising the annual event since 2015 - and unfortunately the need hasn't gone away.

"Bridport Community Fridge has been doing a fantastic job providing free food to people that would otherwise been wasted, whilst Cycling Without Age Bridport has just launched its first trishaw that will be available to take local residents with mobility issues on trips around the town.

"We would really encourage people to drop by on Saturday, enjoy some brilliant music, make a donation and find out how to get involved with these amazing projects."

Headlining the event will be firm Ropemakers' favourites, The Devil's Prefects, who play country music with its tongue firmly jammed in its cheek.

Johnny 'Country' Crow and Willie 'The Fury' Ford, two men and a guitar, bringing you songs about beer, automobiles, trailers, zombies, television and more beer. With a nod to Johnny Cash and a wink to Elvis, this is what happened when country music goes bad.

Joining The Devil's Prefects are Natures Cage, John D Revelator, Dorset Red, Ruthy Ni Conalliain, Dylan Ross and F*** Me! It's Clatters.

Elizabeth Harley from Bridport Community Fridge said: "Bridport Community Fridge started in April 2018 and relies on its team of fantastic volunteers who help keep it running, collecting donations and then offering the fresh food and bread for collection to anyone in the community."

Cycling Without Age Bridport allows elderly people, care home residents and people with a disability or access issues to go out on trishaw cycle rides.

The bikes are battery operated and also have a hood, which will help keep riders socially distanced from the cyclists, called pilots.
