Charity gig in memory of fisherman and music lover
Dean Amor (pictured) died in September after the mosquito bite he got while fishing, got infected and caused him to have a heart attack.
Now, his friends have organised a gig in his memory and are hoping to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.
One of the organisers,Thomas Cox, said that Mr Amor's passions were fishing and music which is why they decided to organise the gig.
The pair met about 10-years-ago when the Waterside Centre in Newbury used to hold regular gigs.
He said: "When Dean died it was absolutely a shock; it was just a massive shock.
"As soon as I heard about his death, I remembered all the times I used to share with him and thought this would be a really good idea.
"During the early 2000's Dean was a regular fixture in the Newbury music scene and could be found at almost every Waterside show, down the front giving it everything regardless of who was playing on stage.
"Therefore we see it as a fitting tribute to put on a show to try and recapture that era as best we can, relive those times once again and remember Dean doing something he would have loved."
To make the gig happen, Mr Cox persuaded five classic Newbury bands from about 10-years-ago to reunite and perform.
They are Junk DNA, Ambient Dollar, The Harry Macintosh Project, Ten Short Stories and Confusing Phill.
Mr Cox added: "The gig has taken a lot of planning because lots of bands dropped out.
"All of the bands are getting back together for the gig and this has also been the trigger for some of them to getting back together too."
The gig takes place at Newbury Snooker Club in West Street, Newbury on Saturday, January 18.
Admission is £4 but any further donations will be gratefully received.
