Scouting at the movies

The 2nd Rossendale Scout Group Band take to the stage for a great cause.

 

The 2nd Rossendale Scout Group Band took to the stage on the weekend to perform a 'Night at the Movies' — all for a great cause.

Cast list

Working with producer Mike Cotter, the band put together a spectacular production augmenting music with lighting, projection, special effects and a cast list of over 30 young people from the local area.

It was a tremendous opportunity for all the young people in the band to work with someone as creative as Mike Cotter in putting this whole production togetherMD, Graham Helm

Tremendous opportunity

Speaking about the concert MD Graham Helm told 4BR: "It was a tremendous opportunity for all the young people in the band to work with someone as creative as Mike Cotter in putting this whole production together. We hope the concert raised a significant sum of money for Cancer Research."

The concert took place at the Royal Court Theatre Bacup on Saturday.
