AMERICAN guitarist and songwriter Nils Lofgren, who will play an acoustic concert at York Barbican next Friday, is involved in a fundraising project for Martin House Children’s Hospice at Clifford, Boston Spa.

Nils has recorded a version of Neil Young’s Four Strong Winds with fundraiser Dave Burgess, available to download and in CD format.

“I’m honoured to have played and sung on this home-grown recording with Dave and friends,” says Nils. “It’s a special charity effort for children who are in need and any and all help will be put to good use and greatly appreciated. Please listen and help. Cheers and thanks.”

Tickets for the 8pm concert can be booked on 0844 854 2757.
