RESIDENTS can enjoy their favourite Big Band hits with the return of the Tea Dance Concert.

Following the success of previous performances by Hornchurch singing group Dawn Chorus, the event will help raise funds for Saint Francis Hospice.

Dawn Chorus is made up of more than 25 singers and is led by veteran vocalist Paul Rhodes who has entertained audiences at West End’s Adelphi and Strand theatres.

Saint Francis Hospice, in Havering-atte-Bower, provides free specialist care and services for people with life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and carers.

The Tea Dance Concert will take place in the Queen’s Theatre Foyer, Billet Lane, Hornchurch on Friday 12 November from 3.00 to 5.00pm.

Tickets cost �5, which includes a donation to Saint Francis Hospice.
