Hudderfield singer and actress Julia Garbutt is to perform a concert to help a local playgroup.

The concert - Julia Garbutt And Friends With An Evening of Song - will be at Gledholt Methodist Church on Friday, November 10.

The friends all perform regularly with Julia in a musical group called Miscellany, run by Cath Stevenson.

The event is being held to raise money for St James's Playgroup and Gledholt Mother and Toddler Group.

Both groups share premises at Gledholt Methodist Church.

St James's Playgroup moved in with the Gledholt group in June after it could not afford increased rents at its former premises, Holy Trinity Church hall in Marsh.

Mrs Garbutt, who lives in Gledholt, sends her three-year-old daughter, Amelia to the playgroup.

Her son, Jacob, five, used to go to the playgroup - as did Julia herself, 35 years ago.

She said: "St James's Playgroup must keep running for many more families in the local area to access excellent pre-school facilities."

Tickets cost £5, which includes refreshments. To book phone 01484 318246.
