THE Hereford Rail Male Voice Choir raised nearly £200 with a bucket collection on behalf of West Midlands Air Ambulance.

This was during two outdoor concerts arranged by BID Hereford to entertain shoppers in Hereford.

The choir were again amazed at the generosity of the people of Hereford and enjoyed the experience, although it could be said that they prefer to sing in warmer venues.

The concerts were on the first late night shopping evening on November 23, and then again on the morning of December 3.

The choir can next be heard in a 'proper' concert on behalf of the mayor's charity next year in St Peters Church on January 20.
