Hide AdNatalie, who is 39 and lives in Lancaster, said: “I have met some wonderful people through my travels in Nepal and I want to support those affected as much as possible.
“Nepal is a poor country and many people are still living in temporary tarpaulin shelters as their homes have been destroyed.
“Once the monsoon season is over it will start to get colder and conditions will become even more difficult.”
The event will be held at Borwick Hall, Borwick, near Carnforth, on Saturday August 29 from 2.30pm, where there will be an open mic session in the Baronial Hall with PA, guitar and piano available.
