The Mayor and Mayoress of Oldham took time out of their busy schedule to hear traditional Christmas music played outside Lees Library.

Councillors Jim McArdle and Kay Knox were joined by the Youth Mayor, Mohammed Adil, to hear the youth section of Oldham Band (Lees) play on Saturday.

Despite the icy weather they were joined by ward councillors and local residents

Much-needed hot drinks and mince pies were provided in the library and over £100 was raised for the Lees and Springhead Band Contest funds.
