event was put on at the Carnmoney Presbyterian Church to generate cash for Help for Heroes, the Newtownabbey Times reports.<\/p>\n<p>It proved popular among the local community, which turned out in force to donate and watch performances from Festival Brass.<\/p>\n<p>Organiser of the concert Iris McVea praised those who participated and attended, stating: &quot;Your support is much appreciated&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;A cheque for the sum of &pound;6,000 was handed over to Colonel Russell-Parsons for the work being done at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham and Headley Court Rehabilitation Complex,&quot; she was quoted as saying, adding the money will be used to help those who have returned from the war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Help for Heroes has been receiving funding
