A free event will feature three rock albums in celebration of a hospice's 50th anniversary.

The album listening party will be held at The Waverley in Market Place, Chippenham, on March 18.

The vinyl albums will all have been released in 1976 to celebrate the milestone anniversary of Dorothy House Hospice, which was founded in the same year.

They will all be played on equipment donated to Dorothy House Hospice.

"This month we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Hospice with three 50 year old Irish rock albums on vinyl (with a nod to St Patrick's Day.)

"All are welcome to our Album Listening Party and there is no entry fee, but voluntary donations to the Hospice are always very welcomed."

Guests will enjoy tracks from the Thin Lizzy album, 'Jailbreak,' released on March 26, 1976, and 'Calling Card' by Rory Gallagher, issued on October 22, the same year and Horslips ‘The Book of Invasions: A Celtic Symphony’ – released on 12 November 1976.
