THE strains of rousing British music will resound over Clitheroe tomorrow night in a top-note concert


Co rn e r 'Clith ero e Royal Grammar School pupils Giles Homer (20), of Hurst Green, and Alex Markham (19), of Burnley, have organised an encore of the Last Night of the Proms-style concert held last year at


Clitheroe Castle bandstand. The concert raised thousands of pounds for charity


and it is expected that tomorrow’s event will hit

be closed to the public from 0-30 p.m., in order to accommodate the huge numbers expected to attend the


event. World-class soprano Carrie Steingold will be accom-
