The beautiful sounds of the Manwood Singers will be heard at St Mary's Arts Centre in Sandwich tonight.

The 50 strong choir, which has been established for 25 years, will be performing their latest concert Summer Showtime at 7.30pm.

Musical director and former Royal Marine Martyn Jordan will lead the choir for a night of entertainment.

The group is always on the look-out for new members with their motto "Making music and making friends."

Publicity officer Tan Harrington said: "Our music director, Martyn Jordan, encourages members of the choir to be soloists in our concerts and we are very proud to have sung music composed by members of the choir.

"We are a very sociable choir, and often go to the King's Arms in Sandwich after rehearsals for a drink and a chat. We hold a summer barbecue, an annual dinner and have trips to various musical events."

The classical concert is expected to see an audience of 200 and some tickets are still available.

Tickets are £10 or £5 for students which will include a glass of wine.

Tickets can be purchased from the Val Gould Gallery, Harnet Street, Sandwich, the Information Office at the Landmark Centre, High Street, Deal, and Mark One Music, Victoria Road, Deal.
