CHURCHES linked with local communities in Pendle to express their Hopes and Dreams -- a new musical based on the Lord's Prayer.

Supporters packed Colne's Municipal Hall for the two Saturday performances of the show, written by Stephen Deal, with lyrics and music by Paul Field.

Musical director was Judith David, of Fence, choirmasters Peter Kendall and Christine Coles and co-ordinators and producers were Janet Heys and Yvonne Bolton.

The 70-strong cast had rehearsed since the turn of the year.
