By Leicester Mercury (with extracts from Hathern Band Website)| Posted: 29 January, 2014
Hathern Senior Band performed to a capacity audience on Saturday, January 18.
The band, led by David Newman, played a lively selection of music which included pieces from the Sound of Music and the Fire Bell Polka, by Josef Strauss.
The concert was a huge success and raised £2,158.00 for the Leicestershire Hospice, including a donation of £750.00 from Barclays Bank under their match funding scheme.
The cheque was accepted by Adrian Walker, Senior Fundraiser at LOROS, who thanked everyone for achieving such a splendid amount and he was pleased to confirm that 90p of every pound raised would go towards patient care.
