Glastonbury & Street Lions are staging a charity concert next month, bringing together the talents of two local and highly regarded choirs to the Johnson Hall at Millfield School, all in aid of local charities.

Glastonbury Male Voice Choir and the Avalonian Free State Choir will be performing at the Johnson Hall on Friday, April 1 at 7.30pm.

The 40-strong Glastonbury Male Voice Choir, approaching its Centenary next year, performed last September before a 7,000 crowd at the Glastonbury Extravaganza. The Avalonian Free State Choir is an a cappella choir specialising in World Music, seeking out songs which represent folk traditions from all over the world. The choir is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

Glastonbury & Street Lions Club President David Atkins said: "We're delighted to be offering this chance for people to see two highly respected local choirs in concert, and to help us raise funds for very worthy charities, including Children's Hospice South-West. We hope it will be a sell-out event."

The concert is being sponsored by Forsey and Son funeral directors.
