Dudley choir set to perform at town hall
A choir in the Black Country is set to perform hits from pop legends at a concert next month.
The Songsters, a 60-strong male voice choir, will take to the stage at Dudley Town Hall for the "Legends of Pop" event.
They will perform songs from the 60s and 70s – including hits from The Beatles, The Hollies, Elvis and more.
The Jivettes will also perform a series of Motown classics and Abba favourites – showcasing the best of female groups and solo singers.
Councillor Steve Waltho, a member of The Songsters, said: "This year we're doing our own kind-of tribute to the 60s and 70s – it's different from our traditional stuff.
"It's essentially around that time and we're doing songs from Queen as well – it's quite a diverse programme.
"We've got quite a following, to be honest, and over the years we've managed to partly sell out the town hall.
"And it's slightly different this time because there's also a group called The Jivettes."
Mr Waltho, a former mayor of Dudley, said: "My arm was twisted when I was a former mayor of the borough.
"At the end of the year I joined them and they've done hundreds of concerts, raised money for charity, and they are a great bunch of guys."
Radio star Ian "Porky" Jones will introduce each performance, turning it into a Top of the Pops-esque performance.
It will be held on September 28 at 7.30pm at Dudley Town Hall.
