A GROUP of amateur musicians are celebrating five years of playing together with an anniversary charity concert.

Northallerton Woodwind Ensemble have raised almost £5,000 for various good causes since they started performing.

And on March 21 they will be joined by the Northallerton College Jazz Orchestra and classical guitarist Adrian Bramley for a concert raising funds for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research and Mental Health Support.

The concert will be held at 7pm in the Yorkshire Suite of the Golden Lion Hotel in Northallerton. Tickets cost £7 - accompanied school students go free - and are available by calling 01609-774158 or visiting northallertonwoodwind.com.
