Arundel band strikes up for grand performance
Arundel-based rock band The Alternatives joined forces with the Burpham Village Committee to stage a summer party, held in a giant barn at Home Farm, in Wepham.
The band, which performs to raise money for local charities and for St Nicholas’ Church, Arundel, added £500 of its own to the £500 generated by the party, to present £1,000 to the Multiple Sclerosis Trust.
