A MUSICIAN is staging a concert to raise money for children suffering with arthritis.

Dan Davis, 29, and his friend Nigel East, 28, are playing a gig in The Farwig pub, Farwig Lane, Bromley, on December 18.

The band, Evans & Bing, named for the duo's nicknames will play music by Green Day, The Beatles and Bon Jovi.

Mr Davis of Parkside Avenue, Bromley, got arthritis in his right foot and left hand two years ago. He now suffers from the condition in his left hand as well as his left hip.

He said: "I know what it's like to have painful arthritis and it must be really hard for young kids who have to live with it all the time."
