After 20 years of ploughing his own unique musical furrow, Don Gaudiosi is still searching for those gold sounds.
And the mainstay of Keighley band Hush will be hoping that the band's new single, Streets of Gold, will encourage local music lovers to part with their hard-earned brass for charity.
Hush will be performing their new single at the band's now traditional annual charity gig.
This year's concert on Friday, May 17 at Keighley's Victoria Hall is in aid of the Sarah McKie Memorial Fund, which is raising funds for breast cancer treatment at Airedale Hospital.
And even after all these years on the local music scene Don is still on a mission to create some maximum volume rock 'n' roll music.
"This will be my tenth gig in aid of cancer charities and I want to make sure it's a good one and raise as much money for the appeal," says Don. "Last year we raised £1,500 so it would be great if we could top that."
He added: "We'll be playing the new single, which will also be available on the night, as well as covers by bands as diverse as Blur, Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, Crowded House, Nickelback and a few numbers by The Jam."
Don will be joined on stage by guitarist Ian Wilkinson, Pete Kaberry on drums, Jake and John Newiss on keyboard and bass respectively and Andy Sale, also on bass.
Keighley rockers The Big Bang will also perform live, and there will be a DJ.
The Hush project started in 1999 when Don had the idea of releasing a CD single each year with the aim of eventually turning it into an album in 2003, an ambition he hopes will still come to fruition.
"The album should eventually have about 14 tracks which will reflect the changing face of the band and the different musicians who have joined for different projects," he says.
Tickets for the gig, sponsored by Peter Black and Professional Forming and Finishing, are available from Keighley Information Centre priced £4 or £5 on the door.
Doors open at 7.30pm and the event runs until 12.30am.
