A SWINGING jazz music event will be held in a church next month.

High energy jazz group The Gelato’s, including members of the Swing Commanders, will be partying with swinging songs from the 40s and 50s with an Italian twist.

The Colne Orpheus Male Voice Choir will then create the warmth of Christmas in the candlelit church with popular seasonal songs.

Wine, mince pies and the biggest cracker pull in Lancashire are included in the £10 tickets.

It will take place at Christ Church Chatburn, on Sawley Road, Chatburn.

Tickets can be bought from the Ribble Valley Music Festival on 01254 384893.
