Music celebration of much loved Peterborough guitarist to return to Charters this year
Peterborough bands will come together to celebrate the life of a much loved city musician later this year.
Nick Smith died in January 2025. Nick (54) from Dogsthorpe, was a well known bass player in Genesis Connected, a Genesis tribute band and considered by many a legend of the local music scene.
Last year, to celebrate his life, a charity fundraising concert was held at Charters, with 19 bands performing in Nick’s honour.
The day raised more than £11,000 for the Nick Smith Music Foundation, and visitors to the event were treated to nine hours of music, across two stages.
Now it has been confirmed that the second ever Nick Smith Memorial Charity Gig will take place this year.
The event will once again be held at Charters on Sunday, June 21 between 12pm and 9pm. The family friendly festival will be free to enter.
Further details of the event – including which bands will be performing – will be announced nearer the time.
