AN award-winning brass band is to hold a free concert as a "thank you" to villagers.
Fishburn Band is performing on the eve of the Durham Miners' Gala, on Friday, at 8.30pm, in Fishburn Workingmen's Club.
Vice-president Billy Elliott said: "It's to show our appreciation to the people of Fishburn who have helped the band through the year."
Villagers Peter and Judy Evans are raising funds for the band with a sponsored walk from Glebe House, Fishburn, to the gala, on Saturday. Mrs Evans' employer, Barclays Bank, has agreed to match the sum raised, up to £750.
