CARPERBY Concerts will hold their second charity event of the year on Saturday (September 26) when Miranda Sykes and Rex Preston make a much requested return to the village institute.

The pair are well known as a central component of Show of Hands.

Organiser Steve Sheldon said: "Miranda has an exquisite and spine-tingling voice, whilst Rex, with his exuberant and flamboyant playing style, has built a reputation as one of the finest mandolin players in the UK.

"In the space of two short years, they have become one of the most sought after duos on the English folk and roots scene."

The duo are coming to Carperby during a tour of the British Isles in support of their album Sing A Full Song and will also be playing material from their soon-to-be released third album. The concert starts at 8pm and there is a licensed bar.

Tickets are £12 in advance or £14 at the door.

All proceeds will go to Herriot Hospice Homecare.
