They will be performing a number of classic rock tunes alongside fellow musicians from 11am to 7pm.

Guitarist Rick Martin said: "We held the first one two years ago and it just grows. This year we are starting an hour earlier and finishing an hour later because so many bands have asked to take part.

"I first thought of it during a stroll through the Central Bandstand on a windswept, rain-lashed winter walk and imagined a hot, sunny day there with local music and raising money for a charity.

"My wife Sheila said it sounded like a Bay Busk and the event was born.

"All the bands are performing for free and there is no entry fee, but we are hoping for lots of donations for a worthy cause."

Last year the event raised more than £600 for Demelza.

Rich added: "There will be a real variety of music to suit all tastes."
