A PROGRAMME of concerts held in a Yorkshire Dales village hall will begin next month.

Pete Abbott, the leader of Other Roads, will perform at West Witton village hall on Saturday, Match 8 after a concert by his band last year sold out in advance.

The event is a 16-date UK tour which will see the singer songwriter accompanied by Scottish fiddle player Gregor Borland.

Local interest will be provided by Kim Ralls, a young rock-influenced guitarist and singer songwriter now living in Wensleydale but originally from Norwich.

The hall and bar will open at 7pm and the concert will start at 8pm.

Booking early is advised and tickets can be purchased in advance for £12 from Grant Humphreys on 01969-622108 or David Bentley on 01969-625458. Tickets at the door will cost £14.
