WEST End singer and actress Emma Williams will be among those taking to the stage in a fund-raising Calderdale concert.
The event, which will showcase Yorkshire talent from the worlds of theatre and television, will raise money for Overgate Hospice, Elland.

A former pupil of North Halifax Grammar School, Emma will join Emmerdale's Matthew Wolfenden, of Norwood Green, Halifax.
Matthew, a former pupil of Brighouse High School, has starred alongside Emma before in the hit musical Sex, Chips and Rock 'n' Roll. He has also appeared on the West End stage and before joining the cast of Emmerdale, he appeared in the TV drama Hollyoaks.
The concert, Yorkshire Showcase, will be held at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Mytholmroyd, and also taking part will be Calderdale performer Neil Hurst, who is currently on tour, singer Sue Morris, entertainer John Wallis, Hebden Bridge Junior Band, lyric baritone Adam Porter-Smith and students from the Whiteley Academy of Performing Arts.
They will be supported by the Luddenden Singers from St Mary's Church, Luddenden.
