RHYTHM and blues is coming to Colne as part of an annual festival and music lovers are using the event to boost the Magic Eye Appeal.

Soul fans will be treated to a day of music and dancing on Sunday at the Tower Ballroom, Skipton Road, Colne.

And all the £4 entry fees will go towards funding an endoscopic ultrasound scanner for the benefit of the whole of East Lancashire.

Organiser and former nurse Julie Barrett said people were coming from across the country for the four-day festival and it was the "perfect opportunity" to keep the appeal in the public eye.

She said: "The festival attracts a lot of interest and the Magic Eye appeal is a really worthwhile local project."
