Roslyn said: “We came together to organise this after younger members of our musicians community here in North Shields said they’d love to have an event where they could wear evening dresses.

“Many of us here have connections to work on and around the sea, so I thought that such an event might be a good way to raise money for the local TVLB, a well appreciated local charity, which keeps us safe while we play in and around the sea.”
