WEST Bergholt Concert Band and Training Band is holding a charity concert in Clacton.

The band has joined forces with the West Bergholt-based Tom Bowdidge Youth Cancer Foundation for the concert, which will be held at the West Cliff Theatre at 3pm on Saturday, March 22

This is the first collaboration between the band and the charity, marking their shared focus on young people.

Tom Bowdidge Youth Cancer Foundation supports teenagers and young adults suffering from cancer, while the band encourages and develops young musicians.

The concert will feature music from big bands, musicals, films, pop, classics and marches.

Award-winning singers from Colchester’s Gilberd School productions will sing I Dreamed A Dream and Mack The Knife, while the conductor's son will perform Mozart's French Horn Concerto Rondo.

A Dixieland quartet will play Basin Street Blues through to Bill Bailey.

Tickets cost £8.50 for adults and £7.50 for concessions, and are available from the theatre box office.
