A night of live rock music hopes to help Workington celebrate its military heroes.

The Rock For Heroes fundraiser will be held at the Royal British Legion Club in St John's Court, Workington, on Saturday, April 28.

Local bands No Idea, Top Dog, Bulletproof Rose and Rusted Hero will perform at the event, which has organised by Jamie Richardson, Sam Jackson, Matthew Richardson and Thomas Beck to raise money for Armed Forces Day.

The annual parade attracts hundreds of people to Workington and this year's event will be the seventh held in the town.

Lesley Jackson, who organises the parade with her friend Pat Nelson, said: "It's lovely that somebody else has taken this on to try and help with costs.

The day is for the good of Workington and our armed forces so anything that supports us is welcome."

The event will run from 7pm till late.

Tickets are £5 and are available from the club or by calling 07879898945.
