A CONCERT has raised thousands of pounds for the Worcestershire Association for the Blind.

Tribute bands Buddy Holly and The Cricketers performed to about 900 fans at the Forum Theatre in Malvern.

The event, organised by the four Rotary clubs in Worcester, raised £7,000 for the charity.

The money will be used to produce an information guide for people in Worcestershire affected by sight impairment.

Once made, the booklets will be available in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, libraries and other public places.
