YOUNG musicians hope to put into practice the fruits of their labours at an end-of-term performance.

Members of the Seaham Music Academy stage their Christmas Concert in the hall at the town's Deneside School on Saturday, at 11am.

Admission is £2 for adults, but free for pensioners and children.

The academy meets weekly at East Durham and Houghall Community College's Londonderry Dene House, in Harbour Walk, Seaham, offering tuition on a range of instruments for youngsters aged four upwards.

The academy resumes classes on Saturday, January 8, with vacancies for cello, flute and viola tuition, plus some brass instruments.

There is a weekly charge of £2.50, with further information from Jim Bagley on 0191-513 0378, after 6pm on weekdays, or at weekends.
