DARWEN singer Natasha Lea Jones stages a special evening of acoustic music for Children in Need.

Natasha, formerly of the duo Pooka, became a singer/songwriter more than ten years ago and her music was described as 'cool' by Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher.

She has toured the USA, Europe and UK alongside The Levellers and Everything About The Girl and is now hoping her home town will get behind her to raise cash for charity.

Natasha will be joined at the event by up and coming act Sub Rosa and a special guest.

The evening next Friday will begin at 7pm at the Thwaites Empire Theatre and tickets, priced £5, are available from the theatre on 01254 680137.
