THE dancing girls have joined the team which has pledged to help bring a new theatre to Blackburn.

Club owner Margo Grimshaw and her C'Est La Vie nightclub staff will be putting on a show on Saturday - performing on a float driving from Blackburn town centre to the Red Brick Theatre, Ewood.

Wearing away strips lent by Blackburn Rovers, they will be collecting cash outside Ewood Park after the game against West Bromwich Albion.

Red Brick Theatre fundraiser Jamie Haddow, said he was very pleased to have support from new fundraisers Margo Grimshaw and Adrian Garner, owner of the Merchants Hotel, Blackburn.

Mr Haddow said: "They are full of ideas and have a lot of experience of entertainment in Blackburn.

"They will really widen the appeal of the theatre."
