THE 14 harps of the Oxford Children's Harp Orchestra will be making their debut at Abingdon's music festival.

The festival, now in its 11th year, has more than 250 entrants from four years of age to adults.

Organising committee member Valerie Dennis said: "The festival is an opportunity to hear something of the wealth of musical talent in and around Abingdon, especially among young people.

"It culminates in the final Sunday evening concert consisting of items selected by adjudicators."

The festival tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, is held in the school of St Helen and St Katharine, in Faringdon Road.
