There's still time for pianists to enlist to do their bit for Children in Need.

From Monday, Ashton's Phoenix Market Hall's will see a mammoth seven-day relay of ivory tinkling to raise cash for the charity.

Players at any level can take part to help raise funds ahead of the BBC's 25th Children in Need appeal next Friday.

John Caton-Greasley of Music Corner, which has organised the playathon said. "We wnat people of all abilities to have a go. Players don;t have to read music and can play for as little as 10 minutes."

John will be auctioning the piano, with the latest bid on display throughout the week. To join call John on 0161 830 0880.
