WE would like to thank all those who attended the concert by The Fairey Band on Saturday, April 12 at St George’s, Tyldesley, and helped raise £1,850 for Parkinson’s UK.

It was a fantastic evening of varied music and soloists to a capacity audience. The Fairey Band were certainly on top form and showed why they were crowned north west champions in March. In two concerts at Tyldesley the Peacock family and the Fairey Band have raised £4,350 for this wonderful charity.

We know that our late father Ray, a member of the Fairey Band for more than 30 years who sadly passed away after suffering with Parkinson’s in 2012, would have been so proud of these efforts.

Without all the help of our family, friends, the hospitality of Tyldesley Church and the article printed in the Leigh Journal, this would not have been possible.

Thanks to you all.

THE PEACOCK FAMILY
