ROCK musician Matt Barnes organised a Friday gig at the Smirnoff Bar in Chepstow's White Lion Square to raise £500 for Thornwell Infants School, recently badly damaged by fire.

The concert featured Matt, 17, lead guitarist with The Scary Door, his brother Ollie, 13 and his band It's a Trap, as well as Doom Child, The Bandits, Iridium and Riot Act.

The brothers both went to the school.

Matt, who is studying A-levels at Chepstow Comprehensive School, said: "Thornwell is a great school. It got me started in music and I just wanted to do something to help after the fire."
