PROG rock legend Rick Wakeman is supporting a charity auction raising money for music projects in the community.
Armonico Consort’s Once in a Lifetime Charity Auction takes place on November 15 with over 30 once in a lifetime experiences and unique lots going under the hammer.
Prizes include the chance to meet keyboard maestro Rick Wakeman, a tour of the Jaguar Classics Works with its former chairman Sir John Egan, an England Ashes cricket bat signed by Ashley Giles and Ian Bell, a music concert in your own home and a wine tasting with TV celebrity Oz Clarke.
