A CONCERT staged in Keighley for the town mayor's appeal was music to the ears of the Salvation Army.
The event, at the civic centre in North Street, raised £724 on the night.
And further donations took the total to £800.
Now town mayor Graham Mitchell has presented a cheque to Keighley Salvation Army, the chosen cause for his civic year.
He said the Welcome to Brass concert, featuring Haworth Band, had been a great success.
"About 70 people attended and some who couldn't make it also made donations – it went very well," said Councillor Mitchell.
"The Salvation Army does fantastic work – a lot of people know about its food bank but not necessarily about its other projects – and demand for its services continues to rise as increasing numbers of people are desperate for its help.
"I will continue to work with the Salvation Army to raise money and awarenerss for the remainder of my term in office."
