A MUSICAL extravaganza is being held at Redditch Youth House to raise cash for the town's skatepark.

The Ipsley Street venue is holding a night of live music on Friday (March 17) from 7pm in conjunction with YouthWorcs.

As well as live music from Backwash, there will be a DJ, and special guests Breakdance crew.

There will also be a number of raffles with prizes including skate and BMX gear.

Charity spokesman Steve Rooke said: "Extreme sports and youth music culture go hand in hand.

''This is a great way for young people to enjoy themselves and at the same time raise some funds for the skatepark."

Entrance is £4 and includes a raffle ticket. All proceeds will go to the running costs of Redditch Skatepark in Matchborough.
