A SINGING funeral director has been strumming up support for a hospital.

Dale Scollay and his band So Much Trouble played a charity gig in aid of the Patients' Comfort Fund at Guisborough General Hospital.

The rhythm and blues concert at the Globe pub, in the town's Northgate, raised £206.75.

Mr Scollay, a divisional funeral service manager with the Co-op Funeral Service, said: "The room where we held the gig only holds about 20 people, so we did brilliantly to raise the amount of money we did."
