A barn dance in an ancient barn in Shipley is set to raise hundreds of pounds for a leukaemia charity.

Adrian Netherwood, pictured, is organising the bash in memory of his late father Ben Netherwood, a trumpeter with The Wool City Jazz Men, who died aged 57 from the blood cancer.

Since Ben's death in 1985 the family has raised thousands of pounds for the Annette Fox Haematology Unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary.

Adrian, 42, who is organising the dance with the help of family and Bingley Harriers, said annual events were held at the 500-year-old listed barn at New Close Farm, off Glen View Road, Nab Wood.

It will be on Saturday, May 11, from 8pm to midnight. Tickets, which include a pie and pea supper or a vegetarian option, cost £8.50 and can be booked on (01274) 406359, or (01274) 586025.
