A TOP Christian artist is to give a concert in Redcar to mark her 15th anniversary in broadcasting.

Nia began her professional career in 1986 at the same time as United Christian Broadcasters - Europe's leading Christian radio network -- was set up.

To mark their achievements, they are joining forces for a nationwide tour of 28 venues.

The tour will also raise funds for Nia's charity, The Smiles Foundation, which helps widows, orphans and the poor in Armenia, Romania and Central America.

The Redcar concert is at 7.30pm next Thursday at St Hilda's Church.

Tickets are £3 on the door or £2 or in advance from Adeste Bookshop, Redcar
