New members are being sought by Haworth Brass Band in order to complete its line-up.

The invitation to people comes as the long-established band prepares for summer performances.

The musicians will play at Addingham tomorrow and at Haworth Primary School summer fair on Saturday, July 6.

Bill Jackson, president of the band, said new members would be made welcome. There were also classes for beginners every Monday at 7pm.

Haworth Brass Band is more than 100 years old and in recent years has been revitalised after almost folding in the mid-1980s.

Norman Wells took over as conductor in 1998 and devised a strategy to bring the 25-member group into the 21st century.

He decided to adapt the band's repertoire, changing its image and finding new audiences, while keeping the band rooted firmly in the local community.

Anyone interested in joining or booking the band should phone Mr Jackson on 01535 212858.
