Singers swapped songs on stage at a charity gig that raised money for people who suffer with anxiety.

Allied Against Anxiety at The Sussex Arms in Tunbridge Wells saw performers sit side by side, taking turns to play and sing their own numbers or covers, before sharing the tunes with their fellow musicians.

James Vince, who organised the event through his company Live in the Living Room, said: “All the acts put in great performances and it was so cool to see them all swapping songs together.

"Allied Against Anxiety was inspired by the song swap events they do over in Texas that a lot of my musician friends over there do.”

The gig at the pub in Sussex Mews raised money for Anxiety UK but money is still being counted.

Live in the Living Room puts on various gigs in aid of charities and also supports Meningitis Now, Dementia UK and Kent’s air ambulance.
