Horwich Carnival Committee is celebrating the success of two sell-out concerts staged at Horwich RMI Sports and Social Club.

The Friday and Sunday evening shows featured the award-winning Wingates Brass Band and comedian Buzz Hawkins.

The Wingates band, celebrating its 130th birthday this year, presented a programme of brass classics and more modern tunes, led by experienced conductor Roy Curran.

Buzz Hawkins' fictitious family, The Bradshaws, formed during his time as a Piccadilly Radio DJ, have appeared many times on TV and radio.
