Burnley gig builds funds for charity
A mini-music festival at the Bridge Bier Huis, Bank Parade, Burnley, raised £2,000 for local multiple sclerosis suffers.
BridgeFest, which was held featured live performances from local favourites The Chinchillas, The Boy Gray, Neil C Young Trio and SAY as well as Manchester-based Gideon Conn and two-piece garage blues band The Old Romantic Killer Band.
Bridge Bier Huis landlady Emma Harrison presented the cheque to the Pendle and MS group Burnley branch chairman Peter Catley and branch volunteers.
Mr Catley said: "We are delighted with this donation because it just shows that despite the credit crunch, people are still willing to donate, especially if they are getting something for their money like this festival."
