Members of top bands Dodgy and the Orb are spinning the discs next month to raise money for an autistic Winchmore Hill boy.

Dr Alex Paterson (the Orb) and Matthew and H (Dodgy) will be DJs for the evening on Saturday May 9.

Proceeds from the show will go to help Tom Addison from Fothergill Drive who suffers from autism.

The brain disorder makes it difficult for him to understand some words and gestures and the condition was highlighted in the film Rainman starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.

Toms parents Chris and Jenny launched the Toms Fund appeal last year and aim to raise enough money to send him to America for special therapy.

Enfield-based band Hex Projeckta will be playing live at the show at the Powerhaus (formerly the Robey), 240 Seven Sisters Road, Finsbury Park, N4.

The event runs from 9pm until 4am and tickets cost £8. Call the box office on 0171 344 0044 for more details.

Call 0181 350 0874 for information about Toms Fund.
