SINGING group Judy and Friends warm up for their annual charity concert next weekend, which this year will be held in aid of the Sparkle appeal.

The Friends, who will be joined by guest singers from the Burleigh Academy, will sing songs in a show titled “Come follow the band” at a special performance in Cwmbran’s Congress Theatre on October 24.

Money made from ticket sales will go towards the Argus-backed Sparkle Appeal, raising money for a £10 million centre for children with disabilities across Gwent.
