A 1960s hit group will be making music in a North Yorkshire town tonight, as music lovers count down to an evening of solid gold pop.

Chart-topping group The Manfreds will be heading to Lady Lumley's School, in Pickering, this evening to recreate the golden age of British pop music with trademark hits including Do Wah Diddy Diddy and Pretty Flamingo.

The band got back together in 1991 after almost quarter of a century apart - but with five original members they promise a quirky performance to delight their growing army of fans. Tickets for tonight's event, which starts at 7.30pm, cost £16 with £14 concessions.
