A MAN living with terminal lung cancer has donated three new acoustic guitars to every primary school in Royston.

Bren Ashburn, known as Ash to his friends, got his hands on 12 new guitars from Jax Music Centres in Barnsley town centre, after he came up with the idea of leaving the legacy behind - he now hopes it will grow into a bigger project to encourage Royston youngsters to play instruments.

Keen musician Bren said: "I'm giving the young people the guitars, but I might not necessarily be around to see the results that this brings."

Bren has called the project Dragon'scarers, and is looking for people to help and donate towards educating children about music.

Anyone who would like to be involved in Dragon'scarers can contact Coun Caroline Makinson on 728390.
