A remembrance concert will take place next month.

The Gentlemen Songsters Male Voice Choir will feature in the 'Dudley Remembers' tribute concert on Thursday, November 7 at Dudley College.

The event will be split into two parts, with a short service of remembrance starting the evening.

The service will feature Reverend James Treasure from Top Church, accompanied by a poppy-drop ceremony.

The second part of the evening will be a concert, with performances from the Songsters, Sovereign Brass, and other artists.

The concert was saved from folding several years ago by a group of dedicated volunteers, including two former Dudley mayors, Songsters, ex-servicemen, and college personnel, and is chaired by ex-serviceman and Songster Ian Rawlings.

He said: "We are indebted to Dudley College for their dedicated support in hosting this event.

"The event is both moving and a patriotic tribute.

"This year we will be graced with the presence of the Mayor of Dudley Councillor Hilary Bills, Deputy Lieutenant of the West Midlands Richard Boot OBE, and the Council’s Armed Forces Champions."

"Dudley's Poppy Appeal organiser Rose Cook-Monk, who is also a member of the 'Dudley Remembers' organising group, will also attend.

"I'd also like to pay my own personal tribute to our dedicated group of volunteers without which there would be no event."

Tickets are £5 each and proceeds will go to the British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
