THE Southend Bach Choir and the Band of the Essex Yeomanry are performing tonight at St Saviour’s Church in Kings Road, Westcliff.

The concert of music and poetry, on the theme “They Shall Not Grow Old”, has been devised to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War.

Proceeds will go to the church, which is celebrating the centenary and that of the formation of the Chelmsford diocese, by tracing families of locals who died in the war.

The concert starts at 7.30pm and tickets are £10 and available on the door, or by calling 01268 772842.
