BUDLEIGH Salterton's Male Voice Choir is to be coached by a world-renowned singer.

Stephen Connelly, from the Kings Singers, is to give the choir coaching and help in a bid to improve the choir's performance.

Male voice choir spokesman Brian Hart said: "We consider ourselves very lucky to have such a prominent person who thinks we are worthy of his help.

"We look forward to his sessions with us with some trepidation, but are sure we can learn and improve with his help."

Currently the choir is busy learning new pieces in preparation for the new season, starting on March 6.

The choir has 65 members but is always keen to hear from new people.
