PERSHORE Abbey is hosting a Gala Concert by the internationally-renowned Manchester Boys' Choir on Saturday, May 26.

The choir was formed in 1981 by their founder and musical director Adrian Jessett, under whose guidance they have established themselves as one of the finest children's choirs in the world.

They have won the Llangollen International Eisteddfod twice, the UK National Choral Competition and were finalists in the Sainsbury Choir of the Year.

The concert will be held in aid of St Andrew's Parish Centre Trust and tickets at £5, are available in advance from Blue and A La Carte in Broad Street, Pershore, the Vicarage office and on the door.

The concert will begin at 7pm.
