Vocal coach Mel Sefton hosted a singing concert called Celebration Of The Voice at St Peter’s Church in Wrecclesham on May 10.

It showcased the vocal talents of local performers aged five to 65 before an audience of more than 100 people.

There was a mix of solos and duets spanning many genres and decades, culminating in a powerful finale from the Wrecclesham Songbirds which drew a standing ovation.

Mel said: “I am delighted that the event was such a huge success. It was the first of its kind, and I’m so proud of all my singers, some of whom didn’t know they could actually sing before having a lesson with me. I feel very lucky and privileged to be working with such great local talent and wonderful people.”
