A SCHOOL soul band will appear at a landmark hall for the first time in nearly three years.

Teesdale School's Soul Band perform at The Witham Hall next Friday.

The acclaimed ensemble will play a variety of songs, including hits by Ray Charles and Blondie.

The band has seen a change to its line-up since a successful tour to the Barcelona region of Spain last July, and has some talented new members. In the first half of the concert, the Soul Band Babies will play.

The concert starts at 7.30pm and doors open at 7pm. Tickets cost £4 for adults of £2.50 for students, and the price includes a complimentary glass of wine.

They can be booked by calling The Witham Hall on (01833) 631107 or David Ferrari at Teesdale School on (01833) 638166.
