THE line-up for an annual music event which was almost cancelled has been unveiled.

The future of Hurworth's Picnic in the Park looked in doubt in May when organisers revealed a funding crisis.

A scaled-down version of the event will take place in the village, near Darlington, on Saturday, August 16, with a more popular, less classical programme than usual.

Performers include country singer Tony Goodacre, jazz and rock from the James Dalton Matthews Band, and jazz trio Gypsy Moon.

The event is at the Grange Community Centre, from 7pm to 10pm.

People are invited to bring picnics and drinks. Tickets are £10 at the door, or £8 in advance, available by calling (01325) 720840. Children's tickets are £4
