MEMBERS of Worcester band Rubber Duck got together again to jam at a fund-raising gig.

The band played to a packed house at their annual reunion gig at the Coppertops in Oldbury Road, St John's, helping to raise £275 for the city's St Richard's Hospice.

Sam Connell of Hallow Road, Worcester, was joined by other original band members Joe Dunnett and Phil Hobbis alongside guest artists and friends on guitar, drums and saxophone.

About 170 people saw the group play their ninth reunion gig, with most of the funds raised by a grand draw and prizes sponsored by Thompson Discount Electrical in the city.

Building work has recently started on the new St Richard's Hospice near County Hall and campaigners are working to raise the remaining £250,000 needed to complete the Building Beds Together campaign.
