MORE than £500 was raised for a Leominster charity at a fundraising live music event.

Bromyard Wind Band held the event at the Falcon Hotel, Bromyard, and chose to raise money for the Marches Family Network which works with and for children with disabilities and special needs.

The band played many traditional Christmas songs and a total of £540 was raised which will be put towards staffing an activity event in the new year where disabled children can participate in the use of various musical instruments.
