Meet the strong but silent types who raised £1,500 to help breast cancer sufferers.

Members of the Keighley rock band Hush raised the cash by playing a concert at Victoria Hall.

The event was organised for the Sarah McKie appeal, set up in memory of the Haworth teenager who became one of the youngest people to die from breast cancer.

Hush is the brainchild of Riddlesden singer and songwriter Don Gaudiosi, who gathered together musicians from his former bands.

Hush regularly records CDs and once a year performs a charity concert at Victoria Hall.

Don paid tribute to band members as well as his guest performers Camalina Kirkland, The Big Bang, Tony Gaudiosi and Top Banana Discos for giving their time.

The concert was sponsored by Promotional Forming and Finishing, which has offered to pay for similar concerts over the next three years, and Keighley firm Peter Black. Hush is touring local venues including the Royal Oak, Keighley, (August 29), the Snooty Fox, Oakworth (September 20) and the Three Horses, Fell Lane (October 12).
