A Sunday afternoon brass band concert in a Saddleworth village really lived up to its name.

That's because a raffle at the “Brass on the Grass” free concert by Dobcross Silver Band yesterday raised £341 for band funds.

Scores of villagers turned out to watch the performance in the bright Summer sunshine.
