Ben Waters is one of the world’s leading boogie woogie/rock ‘n’ roll piano players. He has entertained all over the world working with some of the biggest names in the industry including Jools Holland, Shakin Stevens, Cher, The Rolling Stones, Imelda May, Mick Hucknall, Jerry Lee Lewis and many more!  His album “Boogie 4 Stu” is a tribute to Rolling Stones founder Ian Stewart who Ben knew and who inspired him at a very young age.  The Stones, along with Jools Holland and PJ Harvey contributed to the album.

Ben has helped many worthy causes and this will certainly be a great night, raising awareness and much needed funds for the Ducks & Drakes Charity supporting bowel cancer patients.

🌟Newsflash🌟​

For those of you going to our Ben Waters Gig on Friday night at Weymouth Pavilion we have a special treat for you…

Ben has kindly donated this Fender guitar which is signed by the one and only Ronnie Wood!!!

This will be auctioned live at the gig, so if you haven’t got your tickets yet, make sure you buy them quick!!!

We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and gave so generously. Your support is the backbone of our success. Here's to making more positive impacts together!

Rally Girls 3 Peaks Challenge!

Thank you so much to Charlotte, who is one of the Rally Girls, and has chosen to do the 3 Peaks Challenge to fundraise for Ducks and Drakes!

Please support them here >> 
https://www.givewheel.com/fundraising/1493/rally-girls-peaky-challenge/


"We are a bunch of mad ladies who spend the Summer months attending many different Steam & Vintage Rallies across the country, driving steam engines, old lorries, vintage tractors and more! We love getting dirty, tinkering in the shed and drinking a few too many pints in the beer tent!


One evening while plans were being made for the Rally season ahead (in a pub, of course!) a new idea was suggested that we turn some of our attentions and energy into doing something different and raising money for charity at the same time! Some of us have completed long hikes, marathons or tough mudder challenges in the past but some of us are complete novices to all this fitness malarkey! Hence why this should be a right giggle for a bunch of misfits like us!


So let the training and hilarity ensue as us bunch of weirdo's attempt to climb the UK's 3 highest points! Ben Nevis- Scotland, Skaffel Pike- England and Snowdon- Wales. All in 24 hours!"
