‘The other day we did a test run and we had more than 500 views

‘This weekend we’re hoping for a bigger boost to keep people connected and make the most of a bad situation.’

Professional DJs Groover Washington and Fareham’s Andy Mason will be appearing on the set list along with The Frog and aspiring 16-year-old Ed Parker, who will all be sharing tracks to get people in the party mood.

Dolly is encouraging people to like the Facebook page so they will be notified when the event goes live, and partygoers can send in pictures and videos of themselves joining in at home - with getting dressed up for the occasion being strongly encouraged.

Dolly, who also created Contemporary Art Pop-Up Gallery, said: ‘We have got to try to adapt to something we can’t even fathom. We want to help free the mind a bit.

‘We’re going to get dressed up and pretend to go out, it’s a psychological thing and we want to make the viewer feel better.’

All the entertainers are giving their time up for free to share some music and fun to the community, and the live stream party will be free to watch and join in with.
