Over 200 people attended a charity band concert held on Saturday February 25.

The 'Band Together charity concert', now in its fourth year, was presented by Bude Metric Brass at Penstowe Leisure Centre, Kilkhampton.

It raises funds for Cornwall Air Ambulance and Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Seventy musicians from 12 different brass bands played an exciting and challenging programme of music ranging from popular classics like 'The Air That I Breath', and 'The Carnival is Over', to more traditional pieces such as Vidor's Toccata, and O Fortuna.

Event organiser, Alan Lafferty said: "Previous concerts have raised over £1,000 at each event, and although we don't have the final total yet, it looks as though we have exceeded that this year.

"We must thank the people of North Cornwall for such splendid support, and hope that they will join us again next year."
