The East Devon Rock Choir has held a charity concert to raise funds for Exmouth’s new deaf academy.
Members of the East Devon Rock Choir performed hits like ‘Footloose’ and ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ at a coffee morning held at Woodbury Village Hall, raising more than £940 in the process.
Sharon Brown, a member of the rock choir and British Sign Language enabler, also performed ‘Hallelujah’ in sign language to raise awareness.
She said: “When I heard the Deaf Academy was moving to Exmouth I was keen to find some way to support them.
“I was thrilled when The Deaf Academy was selected as the nominated charity for our coffee morning concert.”
