ANSWERING calls of distress is all in the line of duty for PC Brian McCarthy.
But for his latest mission the 35-year-old is not switching on his siren - but taking along his guitar instead.
Singing police trainer Brian has already released an album of songs he penned himself and a double A-sided single.
Now he has been recruited to help raise much needed funds to help keep the Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre at South Bank, near Middlesbrough, in operation.
Brian, a member of Cleveland Police, is supporting steel guitarist Steve Phillips and his group, the Rough Diamonds, at a fundraising gig at the Marton Hotel and Country Club, near Middlesbrough, on April 3.
The MS charity needs £1,200 a week to continue helping hundreds of sufferers in the area. The centre must raise the funds it needs either from donations or self help.
