An afternoon of music helped to raise £600 for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.

Hosted by the Pendle and District Irish Society, known as PADIS, the event took place at Nelson’s KSC Club.

Guests paid a small enty charge ans there was a raffle to boost the total raised. There was dancing and Irish music with live vocals from Sean Kelly, a former Ryan Air pilot based in Scotland, who since retiring has become a full-time, touring singer.
