SOPRANO Lesley Garrett raised the roof at a concert in Malton.

The evening, at the Wesley Centre, featured songs, interspersed with stories on her 30-year career at the top of the classical music world. Lesley was accompanied by pianist, Anna Tilbrook.

Paul Emberley, development lead for the Wesley Centre, said: “We were thrilled to welcome Lesley and Anna to the Wesley Centre, fresh on the heels of Julian Lloyd Webber.

“The evening was spectacular and finished with standing ovations from a very appreciative audience.”

The concert was part of a £1 million fundraising appeal to regenerate the Wesley Centre.
