MEMBERS of the public are invited to raise their voices on Bolton Music Day.

The popular event, held every two years, has already welcomed scores of people to rehearse Hadyn's, Little Organ Mass and Vivaldi's Betus Vir.

The concert will be directed by Manvinder Rattan and Jane Hampson and takes place at Bolton Parish Church on Saturday, March 8.

Performances will be given by Bolton schoolchildren, the Music Centre ensemble New Century Strings, organist Michael Wynne and The BMS Singers.

The concert is black tie only and tickets are available on the door at a cost of £8 for adults and £6 for full time students.
