A CHARITY concert to raise awareness of the search for missing Claudia Lawrence will be held at the pub where she works as a chef.

Tonight’s event at the Nag’s Head, in Heworth, will feature the Dunwells – one of the missing woman’s favourite bands.

Miss Lawrence, who also works as a chef at York University, has not been seen for eight weeks.

The concert has been organised by best friend Suzy Cooper, who said: “I thought this would be a positive event to raise awareness of Claudia.

“It’s also something that Claudia would really enjoy if she could be there.

“I totally believe she is still alive and out there somewhere and we want to reach out to her.”

The gig will start at 8.30pm.

Entry is free, but a collection will be held in aid of the charity Missing People.

Anyone who can help the investigation is asked to contact police on 0845-60-60-24-7 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555-111.
