A fundraising concert in aid of Open Door Exmouth will feature the unusual combination of a poet and a singer-songwriter.

The charity gig, scheduled for April 26, sees David Woolger and Mark Waistell team-up.

Both local figures to Exmouth, Mr Woolger's poems are a familiar sight in local cafés and arts venues around town.

His last collection, Into the South Westerly, generated funds for the Open Door Centre.

The singer-songwriter, Mr Waistell, is known for his recently released album, For A Sonnet Or A Shilling.

Folk Cast lauds his guitar skills and serene vocals.
