KENDAL-based band Northern Sky will be staging a special charity gig to help the town's mountain rescue team.

They will play at The Box Theatre, which is a part of Kendal College, on April 20. Each £7 ticket covers a free drink, and can be bought at www.northernskykendal.com

John Osborne, a guitarist in the band who also owns Harrison Drury Solicitors in Kendal, has joined forces with Armitstead Estate Agents to sponsor the gig.
