The Gentlemen Songsters, who rehearse at Stream Road Methodist Church in Kingswinford, are set to perform in April to fundraise for Wednesbury-based organisation, Smile for Joel.

The choir, which is made up of more than 60 members, have been working towards the concert for the past two months, which will see money raised for the charity that supports families who are victims of murder and terrorism.

Steve Waltho, former deputy mayor of Dudley and member of the choir, said: "The concert will give a greater awareness of the charity and what it does, and raise some funds for it."

And the event – which is sponsored by design agency TP Squared who are based in Wombourne – will also be streamed live on YouTube on the night for a donation fee of £5.

David Fyfe, organiser and member of the group, said: "Last year's concert was a great success and we look forward to entertaining the audience with a wide range of songs, old and new."

The concert will take place on April 21 at 7.30pm at the Springdale Methodist Church in Penn and people can buy tickets at gentlemensongsters.com/event/sing-for-joel/
