Silsden band concert to help Cross Hills church hit by flood

5:41pm Wednesday 8th June 2011 in Cross Hills

Silsden Town Band is holding a fundraising concert on Saturday to help a church that was flooded last Christmas Eve.

The band is performing in Cross Hills, near Keighley, for St Peter’s Methodist Church.

The congregation has worshipped in the church hall over the past few months but is now back in the church.

The band occasionally uses the church for practices and has previously stored instruments there.

The band is donating its time as a thank-you, performing An Evening of Popular Music at 7pm.

The concert is part of the church’s 35th anniversary celebrations and will be followed by Sunday service at 10.30am with the Reverend Mollie Greenwood.

Tickets for the concert cost £6, including supper, and can be bought on the door or reserved on (01535) 634106.
