A GROUP of friends and myself recently went to see the Bolton-born author Ruth Hamilton in "An Evening with Ruth Hamilton" with all proceeds to Bolton Hospice.

I believe she has been battling with illness, but her performance was amazing, her energy, enthusiasm and all the accents were brilliant. No wonder the woman can write. It's great when someone so talented and successful takes the time to raise money and return to her home town, raising money for the hospice. Well done Ruth, from all of us Bolton folk.
