TALENTED disabled and able-bodied performers are preparing to stage their Christmas show.
The Making Music Project has been running in the Gilesgate area of Durham for four years, bringing together young people aged 12 to 13, some of whom have learning difficulties.
Earlier this year the group was given £14,000 by the Prince's Trust to buy equipment and costumes and to pay for voice and dance training.
The group has performed to community groups throughmout the Durham area and further afield during the year. On Friday next week the group's 60 members will stage the festive show at Durham Gilesgate Sports College and Sixth Form Centre's Bradford Crescent site.
Pat Hill, one of the youth worker who helps the group, said: "The show is for adults and children and is a proper family show. It will feature music from the Sixties to the present day - all of it from the charts.The show is absolutely brilliant. The money from the Prince's Trust has made a big difference. It has really brought the youngsters on.''
The show runs between 7pm and 10pm. Tickets cost £2 for adults, £1 for children and are available in advance only - none will be sold on the door - by ringing Pat Hill on (0191) 386 1933.
