A West Cumbrian youngster, whose dad has a terminal illness, was given a treat by a Blues Brothers tribute band.

The Chicago Blues Brothers were on stage at Workington's Carnegie Theatre on Friday and invited Harris up on the stage for the song Shake a Tail Feather.

His mum sent the band a message after the performance to thank them.

She said: "Cheers for last night lads from Harris' mum.

"I don't think you realise how happy you made a little guy who's actually got the weight of the world on his shoulders.

"His dad's terminal and won't be with us more than a few weeks, but last night he was in his element and you made his worries evaporate and he was a kid again, for that I'll be eternally grateful.

"It's an amazing memory for him. He went to bed with his drumsticks. And has beamed from ear to ear all morning. So a massive thank you from me."

The band replied to his mum and said: "Our total pleasure - makes everything we do so worthwhile. Our love to Harris - what a little star he is."
