Since vintage hi-fi expert Colin Paine set it up two years ago, Vinyl Sessions has raised thousands of pounds for Friends of Harrogate Hospital charity through its monthly events at Starling bar and cafe in Harrogate.

Even when lockdown forced it to go online, it has still managed to raise another £1,000 as it has continued to shine a light on some of the world's greatest music acts.
