A CHOIR and band are combining for a charity concert in aid of the tsunami appeal.

East Witton Male Voice Choir and Leyburn Band will perform at St Matthew's Church, in Leyburn, on Saturday, February 12, at 7.30pm.

Band chairman Gerald Hodgson said: "We are looking into the possibility of raising enough money to finance a specific small project, like replacing a fishing boat."

Leyburn Band will be giving the first full public performance of Leyburn, a suite written for the band by local resident Rod Baxter.

Tickets are £5 at the door, or in advance from Sanderson's, High Street, Leyburn.
