AN Appleton musican is tuning up for his next performance in the Bupa Great Manchester Run.
Tuba player Ewan Easton, from Appleton, has been a member of the world famous symphony orchestra the Hallé for the past 12 years.
He took up running to keep fit and having completed his first half marathon is now preparing to take part in the Manchester 10k race on Sunday, May 18.
It is his fourth event and last year he made an impromptu stop midway through the race to conduct a youth brass band.
He said: “There will be around 25 of us representing Team Hallé to raise money for the Charles Hallé Foundation, which supports education and outreach work in the community.”
