It was organised to raise money for the four-year-old to have the operation, which is not routinely funded by the NHS, at Frenchay Hospital.
Among the DJs who played at the house music event were Tristan B from BCFM, Craig Brown who plays at Banjax and Leon Henry, Shaun Para, and Seb Christie from We Funk, Ship Wrecked.
Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) surgery has been available at Frenchay for 18 months and children across the country have benefited from the procedure which involves cutting the nerves in the spinal cord to reduce the tightness in the muscles of children with cerebral palsy.
The money raised by Jack's dad Sam, mum Hannah Trimby, and friends and family will fund the operation as well as paying for the intensive physiotherapy the youngster will need afterwards to give him the best chance of walking by himself.
