PEOPLE in Fishburn are being invited to meet the real "Billy Elliott" at a brass band concert.

The Fishburn Brass Band is holding the event to thank all the people who helped them to raise £1,900.

The band will receive a cheque on the night, after the money was raised in support of band member Judy Evans, who did a sponsored walk from Fishburn to Durham in July.

Guests will be able to meet vice-president Billy Elliott, who said: "We want to thank the people of Fishburn, so there is no cover charge, however donations are still welcomed."

The concert will be held at the Fishburn Working Men's Club on Friday, December 3, starting at 8.30pm.
