A BRITISH Army regiment is set to strike up the band to help raise funds for earthquake victims in Nepal.

The Band of the Brigade of the Gurkhas will return to Darlington for the 15th year, on October 4, for an annual fundraising concert to help raise funds for retired soldiers and military widows in Nepal.

This year’s concert at the Dolphin centre, sponsored by Sherwoods of Darlington and organised by chairman of the Yorkshire branch of The Gurkha Welfare Trust Lt Col Keith Ryding, will also help fund ongoing relief efforts for survivors of the devastating earthquake in Nepal last year.

Tickets for the concert, costing from £6 for concessions, are available from the Dolphin Centre and Sherwoods in Darlington.
