Children from a Cross Hills music school will perform at the Yorkshire Accordion and Music Festival.

The Craven School of Music students will join hundreds of local youngsters at the event in Victoria Hall, Saltaire, on February 2.

Many of the Craven children have scored highly in regional and national competitions over the past two years.

Following the daytime festival there will be a family fun ceilidh with famous accordion player Gary Blair.

The ceilidh raises money so the festival can afford renowned adjudicators, to give the best feedback to contestants.

"Gary will certainly bring the hall to life with jigs, waltzes and reels," said a spokesman.

Tickets for the ceilidh -- costing £7 adults, £3.50 children, and £20 family -- are available from Craven School of Music, Cross Hills Post Office, or by calling 01535 635074.

Admission to the festival is free.
