A FORMER Blackburn College A-level music student has been offered a prestigious scholarship at Gothenburg University.
Richard McGovern, 23, who is tutored at college by Michael Greenhalgh, has returned regularly to assist in college events while studying for his BMus (Hons) at the Birmingham Conservatoire and is appealing for sponsors to make his dream become reality.
Because the scholarship only covers tuition fees and not accommodation, the scholarship for a degree in Organ and Master of Fine Arts in Church Music is in danger of becoming a 'pipe dream'.
Richard is hoping to arrange a fundraising concert or recital, and anyone willing to help sponsor Richard can contact Linda Hayhurst on 01254 292410.
