Following on from the highly successful Pennyfest in December last year, the organisers have decided to give it a summer run on June 26th 2011. This time round the event takes place at Vines Bar on Sadler Gate in possibly the best beer garden in Derby. Rather than take the vent on by himself again, Dan has teamed up with the people behind Hatch’d Magazine and Apples For Disco’s to make this year’s even better than the last.
While the event sees the first Derby gig in 18 months for the mighty Crash of Rhinos, it also features the grand reunion of Derby’s finest indie pop band Plans & Apologies, a first for years! Along with the music, there will also be a tombola & food (hopefully the amazing curry that Dan’s dad made last time!).
As before all proceeds go to Penny’s Fund (a fund set up to aid Dan’s mum, Penny's fight with Systemic Sclerosis, more details can be found behind the link) so be generous and come along not just for the awesome music but also for a good cause. Entry is £5.
