MERCY is the aim of Steeton Male Voice Choir members as they perform at St Peter’s Church, Shipley, on February 27.

Choir member Eric Parker, one of the church’s congregation, is organising a concert to raise cash for the church’s charity work.

He said: “One of the missions we are supporting this spring is Mercy Ships. The ship African Mercy is currently is docked in Madagascar treating many hundreds of the local population who are without any medical facilities.”

The concert begins at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £8 by calling 01274 598221.

Choir members are due to perform in Wales for a weekend in May.
