AROUND £750 was raised for the North West Air Ambulance at a concert in Padiham.

Scores of people gathered at Padiham Unitarian Chapel to observe Harry Nowakowski-Fox on piano and Alisa Liubarskaya on Cello.

A cheque was presented to Jacqui Nuttall from the air ambulance service.

A church spokesman said: “The music was of the highest calibre and both the pianist and the cellist thrilled people with their musical skill.”

A second concert in this series will take place on Saturday, November 25 with music students from Giggleswick School in North Yorkshire and the Ellison Quartet.

Tickets will cost £8 and will include refreshments.
