Band members play at charity concert

Three Peninsula residents will join other band members on September 30, as part of the Brisbane Water Brass charity concert.

Keith Mannix and Ken Townsend of Daleys Point, and Herbert Ryan of Umina will perform at the Pink Rhythm Charity Concert at Gosford RSL, West Gosford.

Band member Mr Larry Powers said the band's' first ever charity concert would be an entertaining afternoon of music and song.

"All of the money raised on the day will go to the North Sydney Central Coast Area Health Service toward the purchase of much-needed breast cancer diagnostic equipment," Mr Powers said.

"It is now time for us to use our musical talents and put something special back into the community that has so enthusiastically supported us since our beginning."

The band will be performing with the Sing Australia Gosford Choir.

The concert begins at 2pm.

Tickets are $15 and are available from Gosford RSL or by telephoning 4368 1042.

Organisers said pre-booking is advised.
