BEL Canto Singers helped to raise £375 for the ongoing refurbishment of Bromsgrove's Methodist Centre.

The Redditch and Bromsgrove choir held a special concert at the Stratford Road church on Saturday, October 7.

Choir member Mike Baker said: "Our performance was well received by a very appreciative audience, who asked us to perform an encore."

Bel Canto will be performing at Avoncroft by Candlelight at Avoncroft Museum on December 2, before its Christmas concert at Cookhill Village Hall on December 16.

The choir rehearses at 7.30pm every Monday at Crabbs Cross Methodist Church in Redditch. Visit belcantosingers.co.uk for details.
