Richmond'S musical youth will be contributing to good causes when the town holds its first Music Day next week.

The Mayor, Councillor Stuart Parsons, challenged young people to come up with something which would help him raise money for his chosen charities when he began his year in office in May last year.

The idea with the most backing was that all of Richmond's schools should dedicate a day to making music - and then perform for an audience in the evening.

The Richmond Music Day Concert will be staged at the Zetland Christian Community Centre on Friday, March 21. Tickets cost £3 and are available from (01748) 823456 or at the door on the night.
