TWO local choirs joined forces in a concert to raise funds for the Friends of St Mary’s Church, Cleobury Mortimer, on Saturday.

Ludlow Male Voice Choir, under musical director Margaret Davies, travelled to the Cleobury church with pianist Catherine O’Rourke, joining the locally-based 23- strong Reid Warblers.

The concert opened with all 38 choristers contributing to The Londonderry Air, but the separate choirs then took turns in a variety of numbers.
