Organised by former Blessed Trinity student Greg Worden on his 21st birthday, the Revive Music Festival held at The Loom in Burnley raised much-needed funds for the Alzheimer’s Society, in memory of Greg’s grandmother Edna Yeadon.

Bands from Darwen, Bolton, Colne and Manchester performed from midday until midnight.
