An all-day rock music event which has raised thousands of pounds for charity in honour of the late Harrogate musician Chris Bramhall is to return next month.

Chris Bramhall's F.E. Metal Thunder VIII will take place at the Bilton Club on Saturday, September 23 from 2pm to 11pm.

The local music talent taking part will be raising funds for Fighting Ependymoma, which was set up in memory of Chris Bramhall who died from a rare form of brain cancer in January 2013 at the age of just 21 after a battle fought with courage and dignity.

Born in Harrogate in 1991, Chris went to Coppice Valley Primary School and Harrogate High School.

Ependymoma is a form of cancer in the brain or spine.
