Mr Wolford, said: "I am trying to raise funds and awareness for the charity MIND. It is a charity that has helped out my family in the past before and I feel like just before things open up again I kind of want to give something back to the charity.

"The charity has really helped my family out and the website has provided great advice and has directed us to services for my family.

"Raising funds would be great but it is mostly about awareness. This last year has been impactful for everyone so I just want to make people aware that there is help out there is people need it."

The event will be an open format and Mr Wolford will be taking requests. But he has said that he will start off the day with more commercial music before moving to more house music in the evening.

Mr Wolford has set up a Just Giving page for donations.
