MUSICIANS from a village brass band are to perform a free concert for the residents that have supported them.
Fishburn Brass Band, based in Fishburn Village, recently took part in a brass band competition at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Billy Elliott, vice-president of the band and leader of its support group, said that without the villagers, the band could not continue.
He said: "We've had a great year and its thanks to the support we have had from the villagers.
"As well as a way of saying thanks, we will also be officially receiving a cheque from Barclays Bank.
"Two of our supporters, Judy and Peter Evans, completed a sponsored walking raising £3,000 and the bank is putting an extra £750 on top.
"We are quite a small band and we are often in competition with professional bands with big sponsorship deals. "Without donations like this, we wouldn't be able to carry on."
The free concert is at Fishburn Workingmen's Club at 8.30pm on Friday
