An orchestra concert is set to take place at St Andrew’s Church.

The Weston Light Orchestra will perform on November 23 in Burnham-on-Sea, with support from pianist Richard Lennox and guest soloist Francesca Bowkett.

Francesca Bowkett, a mezzo-soprano and St Andrew’s Social Committee member, said: "I am delighted to be supporting Weston Light Orchestra and Richard Lennox at the upcoming concert."

Ms Bowkett said: "Their concerts often feature guest soloists and encourage audiences to sing along, hum or just sway gently to enjoy any of the beautiful melodies they recognise."

Tickets are priced at £10 per person, including refreshments, and can be purchased from Burnham Post Office Shop, Burnham Tourist Office, or on the door.

Ms Bowkett has sung leading roles in opera and choral concerts around the county and further afield, and is well-known for her Prom concerts including 15 years as Finale Soloist at the Bristol Beacon.

The concert will start at 7.30pm and will help the orchestra raise £3,000 each year for charities across North Somerset and Bristol.
