SOLOIST Jonathan Ford and Chris Harpur put in excellent performances when the Ellenbrook and Boothstown Band gave a concert at Atherton Parish Church.

A large audience heard the band, under musical director Brian Peacock, presented a varied programme in a charity event held to boost church funds. Jonathan, 15, performed the euphonium solo Catari Catari and cornetist Chris was on top form with My love is like a red, red rose.
