A CELEBRATION of music in schools in Rossendale will be held at Haslingden Public Hall next Tuesday and Wednesday.

The event is organised by former Mayor and former councillor Geoff Atkinson to allow young musicians a chance to meet each other and celebrate the borough's musical talents. Eight schools are taking part including All Saints RC High, from Rawtenstall, and Haslingden High School. Others are primary schools in Crawshawbooth, Rawtenstall, Helmshore, Bacup, Newchurch and Whitworth.
