THE Fouray String Quartet from the Lancashire Student Symphony Orchestra played a selection of light classical music by popular composers at a grand concert in St Mary's Church, Mellor.

About 180 people attended the event and the music group from St Mary's day school put on a performance during the interval.

String quartet members, accompanist and organiser pictured at the event are Lesley Turner (centre) with (from the left) Geoff Peake, organiser and chairman, committee member Sonia Tipper, Emily Vollans, Rachel Crouch and organist and choirmaster Frank Ashton.

The £1,411 proceeds from the concert will go towards church maintenance.
