Silk Brass has helped raise much needed funds for the Bosley Wood Mill Fire Disaster Appeal.

Lives lost

The disaster, which claimed four lives shocked the local community, but there was great support on hand on the night as the band played to a packed audience in a concert that raised over £2,000.

Silk Brass performed a number of classic band arrangements including 'The Floral Dance' as well as dedicating their performance of 'Myfanwy' to those affected by the disaster.

Emotional

The concert ended with a rousing and emotional rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' with the audience singing along with the band.
