MEMBERS of Southend Operatic and Dramatic Society took time out from their rehearsals for their next show to perform in Priory Park.

Around 20 members of Sods sung at the bandstand in the Southend park, performing a two-hour selection of songs from the musicals on Saturday, June 28. The performance started with numbers from Disney musicals, before members sung songs from shows such as Oliver!, Les Miserables, Rock of Ages and Half A Sixpence.

Sods finished off their concert with a preview of numbers from their forthcoming production of Peter Pan: A Musical Adventure, which they will be performing at the Palace Theatre in Westcliff from November 7 to November 10. Visit www.sodsofficial.com
