Music fans helped raise hundreds of pounds for charity in a night of live entertainment.

Organised by Steve Coates Music Productions, the event was held in aid of the Tiny Lives Appeal and the Maternity Bereavement Team, and took place at Riley Smith Hall in Tadcaster.

The concert raised £233.65, and the team hopes to boost that total even further with an upcoming show in York.

Chris Hagyard, a performer in the show, said: "It was incredible.

"The whole place was bouncing and the generosity of the people of Tadcaster was amazing.

"As a company, we only dared dream of what we could raise.

"The total we got was just brilliant.

"What we're really hoping is that the people of York come and support us even further so we can raise as much money as possible for these appeals."

The group will perform again at The Joseph Rowntree Theatre on September 19 with a new production, One Night of Country.

Becky White, community fundraiser for York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity, said: "We're incredibly grateful to Chris for his ongoing support."
