PERSHORE Abbey is hosting a gala concert by the internationally famous Manchester Boys Choir on Saturday at 7pm, which is in aid of the St Andrew's Parish Centre Trust.

Tickets £5 (accompanied children free) are available in advance from Blue and A La Carte in Broad Street, Pershore, and also from the Vicarage office and on the door.

The choir was formed in 1981 by founder and musical director Adrian P Jessett, under whose guidance and leadership it has established itself as one of the world's finest children's choirs.
