A Metallica tribute act will play in Barrow to raise money for an animal rescue centre that takes 'anything but dogs.'
'No Remorse' will be playing at Cloud 9 on Saturday 27 August.
Edward White, from Cumbria Animal and Hen Rescue said:
"We did a Green Day event last year and it did amazingly. They are the best Metallica tribute act in the UK and they said 'we would love to do a show for you.'"
The band are from Nottingham and will go on a UK tour. The night before they will play in Manchester, and then will drive up to Barrow to play the show.
According to Edward, this was because they heard about the work that the centre does.
"We are only a small rescue. For the size we are we do a hell of a lot of good," he said.
"We take in every kind of animal except dogs. We have taken in goats, pigs, and rheas, which are like ostriches. There is a 13-month old piglet on my lap right now."
Tickets will be £10 on the door.
