A community centre is striking up the band after attracting a cacophony of interest for a new venture.

Beginner and experienced musicians turned up at the first meeting of the Temple Row Centre’s orchestra.

The centre, in Keighley, will now seek sponsors so the group can develop.

The venture is run by Keighley Disabled People's Centre.

Geoff Donaldson, who is leading the project, said about 14 people attended, including people with learning disabilities.

His aim is to bring the disabled, non-disabled and older people together to learn to play without the complications of learning to read music.

Keighley Musicians Centre had offered to donate instruments including guitars, a keyboard and drums.

Anyone interested in joining or helping the orchestra should call the Temple Row Centre on (01535) 606700.
