Assistant curate Rev David Platt will be performing folk songs during a weekend of art and music at St Andrew's Church, East Hagbourne.

Mr Platt's wife Gill, an accomplished pianist, and their daughter, Ruth, who is an actor are also taking part in the event, which includes an evening of words and music on Saturday.

The concert, at 7.30pm, will include readings by Patrick Napper accompanied by Margaret Hedger on the piano. Artist Linda Benton will perform on the cello.

Andrea Mitchell one of the organisers said: "A prog- ramme of activities on Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, has developed from a successful art exhibition at the church two years ago."

Tickets for the concert cost £3 for adults, with children free, and will be on sale at the door. Proceeds will go to the church restoration fund.
