Night of the Dog 5 - 3rd July 2010 

The Charity Rock Night in the Midlands  

It started back in the mists of time, in the little village of Lower Tean, after a boozy night in the pub in November 2004 .  Two men, Charlie Humphries and Richard McGowan (Brothers-in-law) along with the then Landlady of the Dog & Partridge, had an idea to organize a rock concert to try and raise some money for charity.  They called it 'The Night of the Dog' (named after said pub).  The idea was to get local bands to play, and a couple of thousand people would turn up.

After persuading the local farmer to lend them a couple of fields, they went for it!  From 2005 to 2007 the event has raised almost £25,000 for various charities including:  Air Ambulance, Strokes R Us and local organisations.

 There was no Night of the Dog in 2008 due to other commitments (and overwork from the previous year) which everyone was gutted about.  

However in 2009 it returned and was yet another success raising over £6100 for Air Ambulance, Donna Louise Trust and 4 local organisations
