SOME of the best young musicians in the UK are to play a concert in a North-East village church, as a favour to their school nurse.
Students from the Yehudi Menuhin International Music Schools are to play at the church of St Cuthbert, in Church Bank, Shotley Bridge, near Consett, County Durham, next month.
Six teenage musicians, four girls and two boys, will visit the church before travelling to play in Scotland.
The visit was arranged through Joan Clarke, formerly a nurse at Shotley Bridge Hospital, and now matron of the Menuhin School.
The late world-famous violinist, Yehudi Menuhin, founded the Surrey school in 1963 to train promising young musicians.
The concert takes place on Wednesday, February 11, at 7.30pm.
Its 90-minute programme will include pieces by Debussy, Ravel and Gershwin.
Admission is £4, or £2 for concessions. Tickets are available from Shotley Bridge Post Office, or by contacting (01207) 502587.
