Based in Chichester, the band lines up as Dawn Gracie, Vibeke Hughes, Jo Pritchard, Steve Christopher, Adam Christopher, Pete Burrows and Simon Kennedy.

Dawn said: "The Chain is made up of local Chichester guys and gals who only ever intended the band to be a fun extension of their social life. With ages ranging from 20s to 50s, the friends have a diverse range of musical tastes that provides a varied mix of sounds for each set."

With Vibeke and Dawn taking centre stage - and occasionally the dance floor - the band has built up a good following and are committed to supporting local charities, says Dawn.

Hence the event at The Wad.

"Come along and enjoy the afternoon with the band who will be creating a mellow mood for this fun family-oriented event in a lovely setting.

"Since the band's inception two years ago, The Chain have been appearing at various local pubs and private venues. Enjoyment is infectious", promises Dawn.
